Olympic Latest: US wins relay, 5th Tokyo gold for Dressel

American Caeleb Dressel has won his fifth gold medal of the Tokyo Games, finishing off one of the great performances in Olympic history.

The 27-year-old from Brisbane becomes the first female swimmer to win seven medals at a single games. The only men to do it are Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz and Matt Biondi. Roberts, the top seed, had a chance to top the Brit, but landed hard off an early jump and waved off the rest of her second run.American Bobby Finke has won gold in the grueling men’s 1,500-meter freestyle race.Just as he did in winning the 800-meter freestyle, Finke stayed closed throughout the 30-lap race and turned on the speed at the end. He touched in 14 minutes, 39.65 seconds.

It is the sixth medal of the games for the Aussie star, who has one more chance to make it seven in the 4x100 medley relay. Dressel has one more shot at a gold in the 4x100 medley relay, an event the United States has never lost at the Olympics. He’ll swim the butterfly leg in a race that caps nine days of swimming competition at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.
