forcebwithu Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Class act on Caeleb Dressel's part, giving his gold medal to Brooks Curry after winning the 4x100m freestyle relay, and before the medal ceremony. He did it because Curry swam for him in the prelim, allowing Dressel to rest and swim the final 15 hours later. Why Caeleb Dressel tossed his first gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics to a teammate in the stands 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inexperienced hurt her unfortunately. Hard to watch, but I was gutted for her too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
