A Special Kind of Dominance: A Look At the Power of Katie Ledecky, Adam Peaty, Caeleb Dressel & Kristof Milak<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a little more than two weeks since the completion of the Olympic Games<\/a>, a stretch of time that has allowed for analysis and appreciation for what unfolded inside the Tokyo Aquatics Centre. With the COVID-19 pandemic denying spectators the opportunity to witness the action in person, there was certainly a different atmosphere to the competition.<\/p>\n

Still, the athletes answered the call and produced memorable performances, from Emma McKeon<\/strong> claiming seven medals<\/a> to Caeleb<\/strong> Dressel<\/strong> winning five gold medals. There were also surprises, such as Tunisia\u2019s Ahmed Hafnaoui<\/strong> surging to victory in the 400 freestyle to Lydia Jacoby<\/strong> charging to the title in the 100 breaststroke.<\/p>\n

As of the end of the Tokyo Games, it\u2019s worth noting that four athletes \u2013 three men and a woman \u2013 own at least the top-three performances in a specific event. That type of dominance is difficult to come by and is reserved for the greatest names in the sport during their heydays \u2013 the likes of Johnny Weissmuller<\/strong>, Dawn Fraser<\/strong>, Mark Spitz<\/strong>, Janet Evans<\/strong>, Krisztina Egerszegi<\/strong> and Michael Phelps<\/strong> qualifying for the club.<\/p>\n

Here is a look at the athletes who have a unique rule on specific Olympic events.<\/p>\n

Katie Ledecky<\/strong> joined a special club at the Olympic Games when she won the 800 freestyle for the third straight time<\/a>, joining Dawn Fraser, Krisztina Egerszegi and Michael Phelps as athletes to three-peat. Ledecky possesses the 23-fastest times in the event, and her world record of 8:04.79 is 9.04 seconds faster than history\u2019s No. 2 performer, Australia\u2019s Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> (8:13.83).<\/p>\n

Dominating one Olympic event is not enough for Katie Ledecky, who captured gold in the inaugural women\u2019s 1500 freestyle<\/a> at the Tokyo Games. The American owns the 12-fastest times in the metric mile, headlined by her world record of 15:20.48. That time stands 18.40 seconds clear of Denmark\u2019s Lotte Friis<\/strong>, who is the second-fastest performer of all-time.<\/p>\n

British superstar Adam Peaty<\/strong> has won back-to-back Olympic titles in the 100-meter breaststroke<\/a> and owns the 16-fastest performances in the history of the event. The topper is Peaty\u2019s world record of 56.88 from the 2019 World Championships, and his winning time of 57.37 from the Tokyo Games is No. 5 all-time. Dutchman Arno Kamminga<\/strong>, at 57.80, has the 17th-fastest effort in history.<\/p>\n

The only individual world record on the men\u2019s side at the Tokyo Olympics was the 49.45<\/a> popped by Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> in the 100 butterfly. Dressel needed that type of scintillating performance to hold off Hungary\u2019s Kristof Milak<\/strong>, who set a European record of 49.68 for the silver medal. Dressel owns the three-fastest times in the 100 fly, and five of the six-fastest outings. He has also been sub-50 on seven occasions.<\/p>\n

Milak\u2019s world record sits at 1:50.73 from the 2019 World Championships and he has the four-fastest marks ever clocked.<\/p>\n
