In the highlight of the evening's races, Dressel exploded from the blocks to lead by a body-length at the turn and finished strongly as he bagged his third gold of the week."You don't get that magical feeling every night - you've just got to shut the brain off and go."
Dressel, who racked up seven world titles in Budapest, Hungary, two years ago, high-fived his Aussie rival Chalmers before perching himself on a lane rope to milk the crowd's applause, raising a fist to flag-waving American fans.The world record of 46.91 was set by Brazilian Cesar Cielo in 2009. Wilson won his 200m breaststroke semi-final in 2:06.67 - tying the world record held by Japan's Ippei Watanabe, who also qualified for today's final.
American great Katie Ledecky returned to the pool after pulling out of her 1,500m title defence and the 200m free heats earlier in the week, producing a strong second leg in the women's 4x200m free. But the Aussies clung on, as Emma McKeon anchored the green and gold to a third relay title of the week in a world-record 7:41.50, with the US also ducking under China's old mark of 7:42.08.
