Caeleb Dressel, Suni Lee Among American Medal Winners

Caeleb Dressel finished off his fantastic week in the pool with a pair of gold medals Saturday night.

Dressel set a new world record in the 50-meter freestyle in 21.07 seconds. He returned to the pool later in the session to help the American men capture gold in the 4x100 medley relay.ย 

Dressel leaves Japan with three individual victories from the 50-meter freestyle, 100-meter freestyle and 100-meter butterfly. He took first alongside his teammates in the 4x100 freestyle relay and 4x100 medley relay.ย 

The 24-year-old became just the fourth American male swimmer to take home five gold medals from a single Olympic Games:ย 

Dressel entered Tokyo as one of the biggest names on the American roster. In the last week, Lee joined him on the list of superstars.ย 

Lee sprung herself into the spotlight with a first-place finish in the women's all-around competition. She took third in the uneven bars Sunday morning.ย 

Lee produced a score of 14.500 to finish third in the event that was won by Belgium's Nina Derwael.ย 

Dressel and Lee were the most notable names to win medals on an incredibly successful day for the United States.ย 

American women earned more medals than the men Saturday. Raven Saunders (shot put), Katherine Nye (weightlifting), MyKayla Skinner (gymnastics), Hannah Roberts (BMX freestyle) all landed in the top three of their respective events.ย 

In addition to Dressel, Robert Finke (swimming) and Xander Schauffele (golf) took gold medals from the men's events.ย 

Fred Kerley won silver in the men's 100 meters on the track to give the United States at least one medalist in that event for the sixth straight Olympics.ย 

The slew of medals won by the United States on Day 9 created an eight-medal advantage on China in the overall table. The USA has 59 medals with 20 golds. China has 51 medals and 24 golds.ย 

Men's High Jump Ends in Tie

The men's high jump had a dramatic finish that produced one of the best moments of the Tokyo Games.ย 

Six athletes made attempts to clear the bar at 2.39 meters. Since none of them reached that height with a clean jump, the final order was determined by successful jumps at other heights.ย 

Mutaz Essa Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi both cleared 2.37 meters on their first attempts. The two athletes were approached by a judge about a jump-off for gold, but they decided to share it instead.ย 

After the decision was made, Tamberi jumped into Barshim's arms and an exuberant celebration from both athletes broke out.ย 

Barshim and Tamberi cleared all of the heights prior to 2.39 meters without any misses. That put them ahead of Maksim Nedasekau, who missed his first shot at 2.35 meters.ย Nedasekau was the only other athlete to clear the bar at 2.37 meters as well.ย 

Tamberi's victory kicked off an incredible 20-minute stretch for Italy. As he continued his celebration, Lamont Marcell Jacobs won Italy's first-ever gold medal in the men's 100 meters.ย
