With 6 Months Until the Olympics, Meet 6 US Athletes Poised to Win Gold in Tokyo

Sport: Swimming

Caeleb Dressel has already drawn the inevitable Michael Phelps comparisons: he swims the same strokes (freestyle and butterfly), has broken Phelps's world records, and already holds two Olympic relay golds from Rio. Coming off an incredibly successful showing at the 2019 World Championships — he took home eight medals, six of them gold — Dressel will be looking to make a name for himself on the Olympic stage. And he'll have ample opportunity to do so; he could try for as many as seven golds in Tokyo.
