TOKYO – Team USA’s Men’s Swimming is favored to win the gold medal by sportsbooks for the Men’s 4x100m Medley Relay race on Friday.
This same event saw the United States take home the gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. Swimmer Caeleb Dressel is expected to lead the team to victory during the Medley Relay. The Men’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay had Team USA receiving no medal at all as Dressel wasn’t a part of the competition.
Betting On Team USA
The 4x100m Medley Relay race is comprised of a team of four swimmers that will swim 100m for each different swimming style or leg involved in the race.
The first is the backstroke, followed by the breaststroke, then the butterfly, ending with the freestyle.
Last-minute roster changes can be made to the team, however, Caeleb Dressel will definitely be a participant which is likely why Team USA is looking at odds of winning the gold at online sportsbooks.

Team USA Has Dressel
Caeleb Dressel is best in freestyle and butterfly forms of swimming. He recently won the gold medal in the 4x100m freestyle relay for Team USA in Tokyo.
He will likely do the freestyle leg of the medley race. Ryan Murphy could appear for the backstroke, as he took the gold in this same event in the 2016 Olympics.
So far, betting on the Olympics and Dressel have appeared to be a great combination. The swimmer has been gliding like a merman past his competition in the pool and many are calling him the new Michael Phelps for Team USA in 2021.
