USA Swimming withdrew its star male swimmer from the rest of the competition for unspecified medical reasons on Wednesday.
바카라He바카라s just not fit to compete right now. And so we just needed to make that decision. It needed to be a quick decision,바카라 American team manager Lindsay Mintenko told journalists.
Mintenko said she could not be more specific about the reasons for Dressel바카라s withdrawal, but that he may decide to speak about it himself. She declined to say whether it was a mental or physical problem. Dressel had appeared in good shape.
He had pulled out of Tuesday바카라s semifinals in the 100 freestyle and it wasn바카라t clear at the time if he바카라d be able to continue. He was also due to race the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly later in the worlds.
바카라He obviously has a lot of events left. And so it was a quick decision that we made in conjunction with him and our medical staff and the coaches,바카라 Mintenko said. 바카라It바카라s the right decision and especially for Caeleb바카라s long-term health. And that바카라s ultimately what we바카라re here for, for the health of our athletes.바카라
For the 25-year-old Dressel 바카라 a seven-time Olympic gold medalist 바카라 it바카라s a big blow.
바카라Caeleb has worked really hard for this,바카라 Mintenko said. 바카라Any time you come to a world championships or any big competition, international competition, and if you can바카라t compete, it바카라s very difficult. And so we바카라re just going to take it one day at a time. We have a wonderful team here with us. We바카라re doing exceptionally well and really looking forward to the next few days.바카라
Dressel바카라s teammates responded Tuesday by adding three more gold medals to take the team바카라s tally to 10. He had claimed gold in the 50 butterfly on Sunday, a day after helping the United States win the men바카라s 4×100 freestyle relay.
바카라Feels good to get the first individual (gold) out of the way,바카라 said Dressel, who didn바카라t know it would be his last in this competition.
Also Wednesday, Australian swimmer Shayna Jack broke her hand in training and will miss the rest of the worlds.
She was warming up for the morning바카라s 100-meter freestyle heats at the time.
The 23-year-old Jack helped Australia to gold in the women바카라s 4x100 freestyle relay on Saturday and silver in the mixed 4x100 medley relay on Tuesday.
Hong Kong바카라s Siobhán Haughey, the Olympic silver medalist in the women바카라s 100, also withdrew on Monday due to an ankle injury.
Australia바카라s Mollie O바카라Callaghan was fastest in 100 qualifying in their absence, followed by Canada바카라s Penny Oleksiak, Torri Huske of the U.S., and world record holder Sarah Sjöström.
Four-time Olympic medalist Chad Le Clos withdrew from the men바카라s competition Monday. The South African said on social media that he had been struggling with his breathing for the previous three weeks 바카라since having multiple stints of bronchitis.바카라
