GWANGJU, South Korea (Reuters) - Caeleb Dressel showed no signs of slowing down at the world swimming championships on Wednesday after the American delivered the year's fastest time in the 100 metres freestyle heats.

Dressel, who two years ago matched Michael Phelps' record of seven world titles at a single championships, has already pocketed gold in the 4x100 relay and the 50 butterfly in Gwangju and there will be plenty more opportunities to add to his haul.
