He won the 200 fly at the 2012 London Olympics, upsetting Michael Phelps, but was no match for the Hungarian star.
Meanwhile, Caeleb Dressel breezed through the semi-finals of the 100 free, his first of three individual events. The American star posted the second-fastest time , just behind Russia's Kliment Kolesnikov .He shook off the view that he's a lock for the gold. "I've never been a fan of favorites," Dressel said. "It's going to be a really fun race. Really looking forward to it. I mean, there's quite honestly eight guys in contention, so it's going to be exciting for everyone to watch. You guys should be jealous I get to take part in it."
