After swimming in the 100m butterfly final and 50m freestyle semifinals, Dressel participated in the Olympic debut of the mixed-gender medley relay.
Earlier this week, Dressel wasn’t the only one visibly emotional after his wins.
His wife, Meghan, couldn’t contain her excitement when he won his second gold medal and set a new Olympic record. She was seen screaming, shouting and cheerfully jumping at a watch party in Florida.
When he hit the wall in first place in his race with a time of 47.02 seconds, she nearly fell over with excitement before bursting into tears of joy. The tears were mutual.
After leaving the pool, Dressel spoke with his loved ones remotely and grew visibly emotional. “We love you so much. We’re so proud of you,” Meghan told him as tears welled in his eyes.
“I cry a lot,” he told reporters later. “And so I can’t be calling them [my family] every night, you know, exerting that energy, but it’s got to be put into my swimming.”
