U.S. Olympic trials: Caeleb Dressel wins 50-meter freestyle to earn spot in Paris

LA Times  

Caeleb Dressel reacts after winning the men’s 50-meter freestyle at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials on Friday. Dressel earned his first individual race of the Paris Games, powering to a relatively easy victory in the men’s 50-meter freestyle at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials. One of the biggest stars in Tokyo with five gold medals, Dressel finished third in the first individual event, the 100 freestyle, which relegated him to the relay at that distance. Casas grabbed his first Olympic berth with a runner-up showing of 1:55.83 — a huge relief for a swimmer who was billed as a rising star ahead of the Tokyo Games but failed to qualify in either of his events at the 2021 U.S. trials.
