Everything he touches turns to gold, but American swim sensation Caeleb Dressel beat himself up over a less-than-perfect start Saturday after completing a stunning hat-trick of world titles.

The 22-year-old retained his 50 metres freestyle and 100m butterfly crowns in Gwangju with plenty to spare, before leading the American mixed 4x100m freestyle team to a new world record for good measure.

"I probably sound like a broken record but every time I race I always look for the bad," said Dressel, who became the first swimmer to capture at least six gold medals at two world championships.

"It wasn't easy tonight. I don't want it to be easy, I really don't."
"I've never had a perfect race in my life and I certainly don't think I will."
- 'No accident' -

"Tomorrow I will be ready to swim one more, and one more fast."
