Caeleb’s furry companion’s start was insanely perfect as she tucked her paws before jumping. It looks like she had been doing the Olympic training alongside Dressel. Other swimming stars like Sarah Sjostrom also commented saying, “Amazing, she would crush me in 25m for sure.”

Sarah is a Swedish swimmer and the current world record holder in the 100-meter freestyle, the 50-meter butterfly, and the 200-meter freestyle. At Tokyo Olympics, she clinched the silver medal in women’s 50m freestyle swimming.
