US swimmer Caeleb equals Michael Phelps' record

In an unprecedented display of talent, the 20-year-old swimmer Caeleb Dressel clinched seven gold medals in FINA World Championship and equalled compatriot and legendary swimmer Michael Phelps' 'world record of winning seven golds at a single championship'. On being asked about the inevitable comparison to Phelps, he said, " I don’t think it puts any pressure on me."

प्रतिभा के एक अभूतपूर्व प्रदर्शन में, 20 वर्षीय तैराक कैलेब ड्रैसेल ने FINA विश्व चैंपियनशिप में सात स्वर्ण पदक हासिल कर हमवतन व प्रसिद्ध तैराक माइकल फेल्प्स की 'एक चैंपियनशिप में सात स्वर्ण पदक जीतने के विश्व रिकॉर्ड' की बराबरी कर ली। फेल्प्स से होने वाली उनकी अपरिहार्य तुलना के बारे में पूछने पर उन्होंने कहा, "मुझे नहीं लगता कि यह मुझ पर दबाव डालता है।"
