From the time ​Caeleb Dressel​ dove into the water to the time he hit the wall there was really no doubt he would win this race and he did so in a quick time of 21.53. Closing a bit in the last 15 meters was ​Nathan Adrian​ who picked up the second place spot in 21.87 and right behind him was ​Cullen Jones at 21.89. Yep, 21.89 and you don't make the World Championship team in the 50 meter freestyle -- no where else in the world.
