I\u2019ve got pimples on my face from just the stress of the meet. I\u2019m probably losing some hair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">One night after becoming the first swimmer to win three golds in one night at a worlds for the second time, Dressel\u2019s haul included six golds at the biggest meet after the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt was a very tough week,\u201d he said. \u201cI knew I was going to have to come with fire, passion and pride in every single race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Two years ago in Hungary, Dressel tied Michael Phelps\u2019 record of seven golds at a single worlds, including three in one night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Dressel hauled the U.S. from fourth to first on his butterfly leg with a split of 49.28 seconds. Adrian found himself in a three-way fight with Britain and Russia coming down the stretch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Brit Duncan Scott surged ahead approaching the wall and got there first with a split of 46.14 to Adrian\u2019s 47.60.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThat last 15 meters, it\u2019s tough,\u201d Adrian said. \u201cI was trying to be strong, I was trying to hold on, but this time I couldn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Luke Greenbank, Adam Peaty, James Guy and Scott took gold for Britain in 3 minutes, 28.10 seconds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Ryan Murphy, Andrew Wilson, Dressel and Adrian finished in 3:28.45. It was just the second silver, and first since 1998, in an event the Americans have won 13 times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThere\u2019s a time to get silver in relays and it\u2019s at a world championships, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d Adrian said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Russia earned bronze.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Dressel\u2019s golds came in the 50 and 100 free, 50 and 100 butterfly, mixed 4\u00d7100 free relay and 4\u00d7100 free relay. His other silver was in the mixed 4\u00d7100 medley relay. He was named the FINA male swimmer of the meet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cHe\u2019s a phenomenal talent,\u201d South Africa\u2019s Chad le Clos said. \u201cHe seems to get better throughout the days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The U.S. team finished atop the medals table with 27, including a leading 14 golds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Australia was second with 19 and five golds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Simone Manuel completed a sweep of the 50 and 100 freestyles, the first American woman to achieve the feat. She won four golds and six medals overall in the eight-day competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">She came back later to anchor the U.S. to an easy victory in the 4\u00d7100 medley relay. Regan Smith, Lilly King, Kelsi Dahlia and Manuel won in 3:50.40, lowering the mark of 3:51.55 set two years ago in Hungary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Manuel outdid Australia\u2019s Cate Campbell on the final leg, with the Americans winning by 3.02 seconds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Smith set a world record of 57.57 on her opening 100 backstroke leg. She won the 200 back in world-record time, too, but didn\u2019t qualify in the individual 100 back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThat really pumped us all up,\u201d Manuel said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Aussies settled for silver and Canada took bronze.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In the 50 free, Manuel raced one length of the pool in 24.05.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">She held off Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden, who took silver in 24.07, and Campbell, who earned bronze in 24.11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In the 100 free, Manuel topped Campbell and Sjostrom finished third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Manuel\u2019s other medals came in relays: gold in the 4\u00d7100 medley and mixed 4\u00d7100 free, and silvers in the 4\u00d7100 free and 4\u00d7200 free.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sjostrom made a mark of her own. She became the first woman to win five medals in individual events at a single worlds. She won the 50 butterfly, silvers in the 100 fly and 50 free, and bronzes in the 100 free and 200 free, and earned FINA female swimmer of the meet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lilly King won the 50 breaststroke, giving the American two victories over Russian rival Yuliya Efimova.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">They were denied a third meeting when King was disqualified in the heats of the 200 breast for not putting both her hands on the wall at the same time in a turn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">King touched in 29.84, the only swimmer under 30 seconds in the final.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Benedetta Pilato, a 14-year-old Italian, earned a surprise silver in 30 seconds flat and reacted by crying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Efimova, who won the 200 and finished second to King in the 100, settled for bronze in 30.15.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Katinka Hosszu of Hungary extended her domination of the 400 individual medley, becoming the first woman to win five titles in one event.
