I can watch him swim or talking about his life, never get bored. I love him and how he treats people around him, such a inspiration for all the young kids to look up. Thanks for the interview.
@@trempire7514 I was expecting him to swim the 200 im and 200 free, but he didn't swim the 200 im at trials and he scratched the 200 free semi finals at trials :/. That would have put him in the running for potentially 9 gold medals because of the 4x200 free relay. I think, if it was held in 2020 and he was feeling good, he could have done it. I think he was concerned that that would be too much, and that it would be detrimental to his sprint races. I genuinely think he could have won that 200 im and probably the 200 free (he only had to drop a little more than two seconds from his prelims trials time). I also think the Brits wouldn't have been as strong if it was held in 2020, so the Americans would have won the 4x200 free relay.
@@macicoinc9363 i see what you are trying to say. I didn't knew he participated another event outside 5 gold medals and mixed relay! I'm thinking his only dream is to beat Micheal Phelps record but let's see what future holds for him!
@@macicoinc9363 dude this is pure delusion. Dressel can’t swim 200s LCM. Even if he did, his best time is 1:46 and that makes the mens 800 relay 1 second faster max. They still would’ve lost. The guy can only do 3 events. Also why do you think he was robbed of the mixed medley? They weren’t even close to GBR. Please stop spreading misinformation
Good grief. Stop trying to compare apples and oranges. Phelps was a long course endurance specialist. Dressel is a short course sprinter. Also, Phelps is a once in 10 generations swimmer. Don't put that pressure on Dressel as it's unfair.
Caleb Dressel is tall in character, tall swimmer, he is so sophisticated and amazing swimmer - he is sensational. doesn't like comparisons - he is so amazing in his attitude also
I think he is identifiable to all that take sport seriously. The training is where the happiness is. It's with one's peers, the daily competitiveness, it's where one sees the gains, it's where the dopamine is at.
@@crybabyteamo it's not 70's bro. And have a look on the timings of Mark vs as of today swimmers the swimming events he participated, you will find a huge difference between those timings!
@@trempire7514 Hey, that was a joke in reply to the OP's joke about reducing drag! After Spitz won 7 gold the Russian swim team coach asked him if he had any "secrets". He jokingly said it's the moustache. Next time he saw the Russian team everyone had a moustache - clearly someone took it seriously 😁
@@crybabyteamo ohh, that's fun fact to know! I wouldn't be surprised if someone achieve 19 seconds in 50M Freestyle (Long Course) in future, every generation swimmers are becoming more stronger than ever!
@@trempire7514 Yeah. It's scary to think sub 19, but very possible. More and more coaches are adopting increasingly aggressive weight regimen and rebalance their water/weights training program, and food nutrition continues to improve. I'm personally more excited about improvements in 200fr and 400fr where a broad range of techniques are involved😁
what a great Swimmer, Humble. for all of you there - check ous Mellouli a Tunisian who beated Phelps in the 400free, and got the 1500 and the 10k open water! the only swimmer to compete in all 3 courses - short mid and long open water
I really want to say you can’t compare the eras, but Phelps swam in every era and was the best lol. Dressel is the fastest swimmer anyone has seen by far though. He’s so fast I think he could be the first Olympic athlete to win 2 100s (free/fly) and place top three in breast and back due to his insane underwaters. Idk about world record speed in back or breast but definitely could get under 53 in back(which is blazing fast) and under 59 in breast. I always wondered if a swimmer could swim all four of the events, I would probably call that swimmer the greatest ever.
Tbh I think his goal times are probably insanely fast because they probably represent the perfect race mathematically. I saw an article where someone broke down all of his top 50m performances and merged the fastest stages of each and got 20.6 or maybe it was even lower. Im just saying this guys mindset is that he wants to ascend to another plane of swimming not just break records haha
You can compare Phelps and spitz. Spitz is also a tier above Dressel. Did you know when spitz competed the 50 wasn’t even an event? If he was allowed to swim it, he would’ve had 8 golds too. He and Phelps are comparable, Dressel isn’t.
There’s just no way you can surpass Phelps in accolades. You will never measure up. 8golds in one Olympics. The end. Don’t bother comparing. It’s a waste of time

For someone that holds 3 different world records and is 7x olympic champion, he sounds incredibly humble.
I am guessing he wanted to break the 50m free and 100m free wr times at Tokyo. Plus he got screwed out of the mixed medley record at Tokyo :/.
@@macicoinc9363 yup, otherwise he would've had 6 gold medals in a single Olympics which is insane!

This man is a true champion. To be this young and this humble is unheard of! True meaning of sportsmanship and character of an athlete.

Sounds like u really know what ur talking about🤣🤣

Losing the moustache might give 0.1 sec worth of drag reduction
Jokes asides, amazing person!!
Aye but that's how Mark Spitz won his 7 gold, the moustache!

Thanks for uploading
Thanks for watching
humble, to be surely respected.
As a sport coach one's said:" the sports the guys and women are the gladiators of our age".
Dressel is a pure sprinter , Phelps is more like a 100-200 swimmer, just different
That not even true🤣🤣
100-200Fly
100~ish-200-400Freestyle
200-400IM
Think that’s it
Mid distance. He swam IM a lot and that is the hardest race in swimming.
Thanks for the video
that helped me lot, thank you!

I have always considered my self to be my main competition.
This guy is so real….
Everybody is talking about how Michael Phelps, but nobody is talking about how Michael Pheels.
he wants that 20.8 you can tell

Can't Compare Phelps to Spitz, and similarly Dressel to Phelps.
Indeed. Comparing either of them to Phelps would be an insult to his achievement in the sport :)
You can compare Phelps and spitz. Spitz is also a tier above Dressel. Did you know when spitz competed the 50 wasn’t even an event? If he was allowed to swim it, he would’ve had 8 golds too. He and Phelps are comparable, Dressel isn’t.
@@swimfan752 not likely 50m was spitz event.
With so many events, almost impossible to win in a pure sprint event
He’s bright and it afraid to be honest. Became a bigger Dressel fan today. Thank you Graham!
Glad to hear it! - DF
this guy is 26(actually 25 at the time of speaking)!?
Don't worry...nobody is comparing you to the Goat. He beat competition when it was competition
Thank you for all this informations
Dressel can beat all rocords
He can only swim 3 events but sure man
For some reason, all swimmers seem to lack something in the intelligence dept. maybe its the chlorine in the water? They just seem socially awkward.
Serbia always cheers for Mr. Caeleb Dressel
There’s just no way you can surpass Phelps in accolades.
You will never measure up.
8golds in one Olympics.
The end.
Don’t bother comparing. It’s a waste of time
Not the next michael phelps
the next caeleb dressel
