Huske, Dressel, Walsh win more U.S. golds at swimming worlds
Torri Huske, Caeleb Dressel and Alex Walsh all won for the United States on the second day of racing at the world swimming championships on Sunday. Only Nicolò Martinenghi prevented an American clean sweep as the 22-year-old claimed Italy’s first-ever gold medal in the men’s 100 breaststroke. “My first medal, a gold medal in my first final at the world championship is something special,” said Martinenghi, who also set a national record. It’s always the most nerve-racking,” said Dressel, who became the first American to win back-to-back world titles in the event. Germany’s Anna Elendt was fastest in the women’s breaststroke semifinals, where world record holder Lilly King qualified in eighth place for Monday’s final.
