When you're being tipped as the heir apparent to a legend like Michael Phelps you must be talented. And there is no doubting Caeleb Dressel's supreme skills in the pool, which have been on display all week at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre. Dressel finished up on Sunday with a new Olympic record to win the 50m freestyle, while he and his United States team-mates broke the world benchmark in taking out the 4x100m medley. In total, Dressel leaves Tokyo 2020 with five gold medals ? collecting individual accolades in the 50 and 100m free races and 100m butterfly as well as winning two relay events. Swimming has a proud history of producing athletes who leave a single Games with multiple gold medals and Stats Perform takes a look at some of the previous stars of the pool to have done so.
