Olympics-Swimming-Double gold joy for American men, Chinese women

TOKYO (Reuters) -Caeleb Dressel won the blue riband men’s 100m freestyle as the United States celebrated two gold medals in the Tokyo pool on Thursday while China’s women responded with two golds, and a world record, of their own in another thrilling day of swimming. Alongside Dressel’s triumph in the marquee event, fellow American Bobby Finke clinched the 800m freestyle with an impressive late surge. China gained their first gold in the Tokyo pool with Zhang Yufei winning the women’s 200m butterfly and then she returned to the pool to help her team upset the favoured Australians to win the 4x200m freestyle relay, setting a world record along the way.
