Singaporean Schooling, his country's first ever Olympic gold medal winner in 2016, finished 44th in Thursday's 100m butterfly heats.

TOKYO—Rio golden boy Joseph Schooling, one of the faces of the Games 5 years ago after his surprise gold in the 100m butterfly, failed to qualify from the heats on Thursday but said he would bounce back from the disappointment.

Dressel's time equalled Schooling's Olympic record of 50.39 from Rio, a time the Singaporean has not been close to since. "We have been working our tail off for the last 15 months and definitely had bigger expectations than this but sometimes you just have weeks like this; that is not an excuse, it is just more fuel for next time" he added.
