The U.S. has been historically dominant in swimming at the Olympics.
Around 10,500 athletes will be competing for the chance to earn a gold medal in their respective sports. As is often the case, there are some prized American athletes who figure to be in contention for a gold medal in Paris, hoping to leave their mark on the Olympics like those who competed before them.
Throughout history, there have been some dominating athletes representing the United States at the Olympics. Some of the winningest are still competing, including legendary swimmers Katie Ledecky and Caleb Dressel, both of whom will be looking to further their historic careers with more gold in Paris.
Still, all pale in comparison to Michael Phelps, who dominated during his lengthy career in the pool. Phelps, largely considered the greatest Olympic athlete in the history of the Games, is the winningest American ever at the Olympics, and also owns the most gold medals of any athlete in the competition's history.Phelps stands alone in Olympics history with 23 gold medals. He owns the most golds not only by an American, but by an Olympic athlete in the history of the Games.
