BUDAPEST - Caeleb Dressel says comparisons with US swimming legends Michael Phelps and Mark Spitz are premature, even though he stands on the verge of matching their historic feats.
On Saturday, the 20-year-old Dressel became the first American swimmer to win three gold medals in one day at the world aquatic championships.
He kicked off his historic performance at the Duna Arena by winning the 50m freestyle and the 100m butterfly golds within half an hour.
