The Olympic “Quadrennium:” A Look Back And A Look Ahead To Paris 2024<\/span><\/h1>\n
By David Rieder<\/span><\/p>\n
Swimming World reflects on the last five years since the last Olympic Games in Rio and ponders the questions that lie ahead during the next three years leading up to Paris 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Five years ago, the swimming world had just watched as the sport\u2019s all-time greatest, Michael Phelps, finished
\nhis swimming career with another history- making performance. In Rio, Phelps was not at the level of the historic Beijing Olympics in 2008 where he won eight gold medals and set seven world records, but he recaptured gold in the 200 meter butterfly, his signature event, and won his fourth straight gold medal in the 200 IM (while no other man has ever even three-peated in an Olympics). He also was critical in three American relay gold medals. With Phelps retiring, the sport would certainly have a void to fill, the role of world\u2019s best now up for grabs.<\/p>\n
Today, there is 25-year-old Caeleb Dressel. Dressel bristles at comparisons to Phelps, and no swimmer deserves being compared to a man who won 28 Olympic medals, 23 of them gold. But Dressel\u2019s emergence as the world\u2019s best swimmer was the No. 1 story of the last five years, the \u201cquadrennium\u201d that became five years because of the COVID-delayed Olympic postponement from 2020 to 2021.<\/p>\n
The first major meet after the Rio Olympics, the 2017 World Championships, saw Dressel tie Phelps\u2019 record with seven gold medals at one Worlds, including three on one night. Dressel benefited from some relay events added to the program, but his haul was stunning and impressive, nonetheless.<\/p>\n
Two years later, Dressel won eight medals (six gold and two silver) at Worlds, setting the all-time record. But his biggest moment would come at the showcase of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, and he delivered there, too. He won three individual gold medals\u2014in the 100 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 50 freestyle\u2014to become just the third man after Phelps and Mark Spitz to win more than two individual golds in one Olympics. He lowered his world record in the 100 fly and led two American relays to gold medals.<\/p>\n
At least on the men\u2019s side, Dressel is the new face of swimming. No, he is not Phelps, and he will never be\u2014not just because he specializes in sprints while Phelps was more of a 100\/200 swimmer. But like Phelps, Dressel is versatile and dominant in multiple events, and he has shown a knack for putting forth his best performances while in the brightest of spotlights.<\/p>\n
THE WOMEN FROM DOWN UNDER DOMINATE<\/span><\/strong>
\nAt the end of the last Olympics, Katie Ledecky was the world\u2019s dominant swimmer, having become just the second female swimmer ever to capture gold in the 200, 400 and 800 freestyle in one Olympics, the latter two performances coming with massive world records. Over the next five years, Ledecky would never again reach that level of dominance or speed, but she has remained one of the world\u2019s best.<\/p>\n
In Tokyo, she swam the second-best performance of her career in the 400 free as she brought home a hard-fought silver medal, and then, just over an hour after finishing a disappointing fifth in the 200 free, she became the first-ever female gold medalist in the 1500 free. She then used a brilliant anchor leg on the 800 free relay to elevate the Americans to silver before winning her third straight gold medal in the 800 free, becoming just the third woman (along with Dawn Fraser\/100 free and Krisztina Egerszegi\/200 back) to three-peat in any race.<\/p>\n
But the biggest story of the Tokyo quad for the women took longer to develop. At the past two Olympics, Australia had entered the Games with gold medal threats, particularly in 2016, only to finish with very underwhelming medal tallies. In 2021, three Australians looked like gold-medal favorites in multiple individual events, and all three of them came through.<\/p>\n
First, there was the pair of 20-year-olds. Ariarne Titmus was the swimmer who took down Ledecky in the 400 free, recording the second-fastest time in history and just missing Ledecky\u2019s world record in the process, and she also was impressive in winning gold in the 200 free, just a month after recording history\u2019s second-fastest time. Meanwhile, Kaylee McKeown had recorded scorching backstroke swims seemingly every time she raced since November, and she broke the 100 back world record in June. In Tokyo, she scored gold medals three times\u2014in the 100 back, 200 back and as part of Australia\u2019s 400 medley relay.<\/p>\n
The Games\u2019 star, however, was Emma McKeon, a long-overshadowed sprinter who won seven medals, more than any female swimmer ever at one Olympics. She took home individual gold medals after dominant wins in the 100 freestyle and 50 freestyle\u2014approaching world records in both\u2014and she was the best swimmer on two golden Australian relays, the 400 free and 400 medley. She also won three bronze medals. McKeon had shown talent and versatility and particular aptitude for fast relay swims time after time over her elite international career, which stretches back to 2013, but her emergence as the best swimmer in the world was less expected.<\/p>\n
