Tokyo, Japan - Teammates Katie Ledecky and Caeleb Dressel made history in the pool as they rounded up more gold medals for the US at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Ledecky defeated her Australian adversary Ariarne Titmus to claim her second swimming gold of the Tokyo Games.

The 24-year-old was in seemingly rare, but expected dominant fashion in yet another long- distance race, holding the lead from start to finish. She touched the wall first with a time of 8 minutes and 12.57 seconds to win her third straight 800-meter freestyle Olympic race.

Titmus, while trying to make her customary last-minute push against Ledecky, just couldn’t catch her – coming in at 8 minutes and 13.83 seconds to earn silver.

The third time's the charm for Ledecky, as she fell twice to Titmus in Tokyo before finally beating her on Saturday to close out her time at the Summer Games.

She is now the first woman in Olympic history to win the 800-meter freestyle three consecutive times.

Overall, Ledecky now has six individual gold medals, the most gold medals for any female athlete in US Olympic history.

With this win, she's clinched the two records at once!

Caeleb Dressel tasted victory again, by winning the men’s 100-meter butterfly final on Saturday.

This is the third gold medal he’s claimed while in Tokyo and to make it even sweeter, he set the world record as part of the win.

Dressel finished first with a record time of 49.45 seconds, actually topping his own mark set back at the world championships in 2019. He was wire-to-wire with Hungarian swimmer Kristof Milak, who took the silver medal, and Switzerland's Noe Ponti, who claimed the bronze.

Dressel can add to his personal medal count in two more finals on Sunday, his last day of competition at the Tokyo Games.
