Most impressively, he broke Phelps' 10 year 100M butterfly record by .32 seconds.
Most gold medals:
1. Phelps - 26
2. Lochte - 18
3. Dressel - 13 (After only two meets)

With the United States’ second-place finish in the men’s 4×100 medley Sunday night in Gwangju, Caeleb Dressel secured his eighth medal of this 2019 FINA World Championships championships, setting a single-meet record.
He won gold in the 50 and 10o free, 50 and 100 fly, 4×100 mixed and men’s free relays, and silver on both the 4×100 mixed and men’s medley relays. He set an American record in the 100 free and world record in the 100 fly and mixed 4×100 free relays.
Dressel himself was an owner of the previous medals record, having earned seven in 2017, as did Michael Phelps in 2007 and 2011, Australian Michael Klim in 1998, and American Matt Biondi in 1986. Notably, mixed relays were not a part of the Worlds program until 2015, meaning Dressel had two additional medal opportunities on his predecessors.
The 22-year-old now ranks third in Worlds history behind Phelps and Lochte in caliber of medals (13 gold and two silver)
Most gold medals:
1. Phelps - 26
2. Lochte - 18
3. Dressel - 13 (After only two meets)

Cool. Phelps is still the GOAT.

What position on your football team can he play?

I hope Dressel enters more swimming events than Michael Phelps did in 2008 and beats his 8-medal record. It would be epic.

..but does he take massive bong rips?
Phelps is forever the GOAT.

Do individual golds next... and you'll see it ain't close. They added 2 bogus af mixed relays that boost his number bigly.
And forgot to mention the bs addition of 50s of strokes to boost that number.

Awesome. Looks promising for the next Olympics

I thought all of Phelps medals were in the Olympics and this competition that Dressel is in was somewhat insignificant. Guess I was dead wrong on that.

He's won 10 gold's outside of the new relays in 2 meets and, again, shattered Phelps Butterfly record. Stop being a hater.

Now post how many world records Phelps has broken over the years versus everyone else. Honestly not fair to compare the kid to Phelps.

This kid is 22-years old. He will surpass many of Phelps' achievements.

Not what I asked. How many times did Phelps break a world record during his career versus the others. Never said current. Now who's the moron.

He’d be a lot more likable without the tat sleeve and earring.
There will never be another Michael Phelps.

How many Gold Medals does Dressell have?
That’s how you become decorated.
If he starts winning in the olympics for the USA everyone here will be singing his praises

Tell me about the 50 fly being an event during the Phelps years too. Not a hater, baw came up on the exact same club team, his current coach coached me for years. I just happen to know we're comparing unequal things here. Never medaled in anything over a 100 meters. 400 IM is the hardest event out there, holler back when he's dominating that.

If Phelps is the greatest swimmer ever, breaking a Phelps record would be more difficult than breaking a non-Phelps record, yes?
This is a 22 year old kid with a decade of swimming left. He's going to be special, and in many ways, already is.

You are being a hater. This isn't a Dressel is better than Phelps thread. Dressel is set to become the most decorated swimmer in history, is he not? He is also shattering Phelps' records, is he not?

When it comes to the Olympics we don’t pull against any Americans.

Hands down GOAT sprinter. No argument there at all. Still at 0 individual Olympic golds though.
