GWANGJU, South Korea: American superstar Caeleb Dressel has invited comparisons to Olympic legend Michael Phelps after lighting up a world swimming championships plagued by doping rows, a sexual harassment arrest and a fatal nightclub accident.
Australia's Mack Horton and Briton Duncan Scott refused to shake Sun's hand after losing to the hulking Chinese swimmer, provoking a furious reaction from Sun, who yelled at Scott:"You're a loser!" "He's tested year in, year out. You can't have the performances he's had over the years without doing the work."Above the fray, Dressel repeated in the 50m and 100m freestyle, as well as the 100m butterfly -- but not before setting an eye-popping new world best of 49.50s to eclipse Phelps's old bodysuit mark by 0.32s.
"If this is where we're at heading to Tokyo, we'll be very dangerous next year," added Dressel, after the United States once again topped the medals table with 14 golds - nine more than nearest rivals Australia.
