Team USA swimmers will again return home with more medals than anyone else. Fewer of them are gold than in 2016.

Of those 30, 11 were gold, down about 31% from 16 in Rio—a sign that the U.S.’s vice-like grip on dominance in the pool is loosening as the rest of the world catches up.in Tokyo. But when Team USA flies home on Monday, no swimmer’s suitcase will be heavier than Caeleb Dressel’s.
“I’m not trying to beat Michael. I’m not trying to beat Mark,” he said on Sunday. “It’s not my goal to beat anyone in particular, but about achieving what I think my potential is.”in the 100-meter butterfly and 4×100 medley relay and set new Olympic records in the sprint freestyle races he won, the 50 and 100.
