Even the Games themselves were known as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games despite the fact that the actual event was held a year later! Yet, once the competition got started\u2014at venues without any spectators\u2014the XXXII Olympiad provided all of the anticipated emotions, surprises, goal fulfillments and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TOKYO\u2014It was all supposed to go down last summer, Tokyo the centerpiece of the sporting world. Champions crowned. Iconic performances recorded. Moments of redemption. Upsets. Tears of elation. Tears of heartache. There would be a little bit of everything, and something for all.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the original plan was shredded. The COVID-19 pandemic, in all its tragic fury, changed the world. Amid the loss of lives and shifting daily environments, the 32nd edition of the Olympic Games was postponed, and while that decision paled in comparison to the life-altering effects of the coronavirus, athletes saw their dreams put on hold.<\/p>\n<p>If the yearlong delay felt like an eternity\u2014to competitors, fans and media\u2014what transpired in Tokyo proved worth the wait once the Games were held in the Japanese capital.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look, and appreciate, what the Tokyo Games delivered:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #b39305;\">JOB DONE<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nAs hyped as any Olympian in Tokyo, Caeleb Dressel couldn\u2019t avoid the comparisons. Due to his vast potential for an epic medal haul, Dressel was linked to United States icons Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz and Matt Biondi. All along, Dressel emphasized that he just wanted to do his thing\u2014and be recognized for his ability.<\/p>\n<p>Shouldn\u2019t be a problem any longer.<\/p>\n<p>As the United States topped the medal count in Tokyo, with 30 pieces of hardware and 11 gold medals, Dressel was nothing short of phenomenal. The 24-year-old from Florida collected five gold medals (three of them solo), set an individual world record and joined his relay teammates for another, and deftly managed the immense pressure that was placed on his shoulders even before the COVID delay.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off a pair of World Championships (2017 and 2019) in which he starred for the Red, White and Blue, Dressel affirmed his status as the sport\u2019s leading face at his second Games by negotiating a gauntlet of challenges\u2014from the United States topping a stout field in the 400 freestyle relay (3:08.97) to beating a stacked British squad in the 400 medley relay, a world record of 3:26.78 getting the job done for Ryan Murphy, Michael Andrew, Dressel and Zach Apple. In between those relays, Dressel turned back Australian rival Kyle Chalmers in the 100 free (47.02 to 47.08), fended off Hungarian threat Kristof Milak in the 100 fly with a world record (49.45 to 49.68) and waltzed to gold in the 50 free (21.07).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to convince myself that Worlds was the same, and it\u2019s the same competition, but it\u2019s a lot different here,\u201d Dressel said. \u201cIt\u2019s a different kind of pressure, and I\u2019m aware of that now and I can stop lying to myself. It means something different. It only happens every four years for a reason, and it\u2019s 20-something seconds or 40-something seconds. You have to be so perfect in that moment, especially if you have another year, a five-year buildup\u2014or<br \/>\na 24-year buildup, whatever you want to call it. There\u2019s so much pressure on one moment. Your whole life boils down to one moment that can take 20 or 40 seconds. How crazy is that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-september-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To access the complete article, click here to download Swimming World September 2021, available now!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-september-2021-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"486209\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-september-2021-presents-golden-boy-caeleb-dressel-available-now\/swimming-world-september-2021-golden-boy-caeleb-dressel-puts-on-a-show-in-tokyo-with-5-gold-medals-and-2-world-records-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Swimming-World-September-2021-Golden-Boy-Caeleb-Dressel-Puts-On-A-Show-In-Tokyo-With-5-Gold-Medals-and-2-World-Records-COVER.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming World September 2021 &#8211;
