He did so in world record time.
The race marks Dressel’s third gold medal in the Tokyo Games.
He was part of the gold-winning team in the 4×100 free relay, where he swam the first leg, and on Thursday, he won his first gold medal in an individual event by beating the field in the 100-meter freestyle.
Dressel, of Florida, took home two gold medals from the 2016 Rio Games in the 4×100 freestyle and the 4×100 medley.
He may get another chance at a gold Saturday in Tokyo. He is expected to compete in the mixed 4×100 medley relay.
