USA Swimming withdrew its star male swimmer from the rest of the competition for unspecified medical reasons on Wednesday.

“He라이브 바카라 just not fit to compete right now. And so we just needed to make that decision. It needed to be a quick decision,” American team manager Lindsay Mintenko told journalists.

Mintenko said she could not be more specific about the reasons for Dressel라이브 바카라 withdrawal, but that he may decide to speak about it himself. She declined to say whether it was a mental or physical problem. Dressel had appeared in good shape.

He had pulled out of Tuesday라이브 바카라 semifinals in the 100 freestyle and it wasn’t clear at the time if he’d be able to continue. He was also due to race the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly later in the worlds.

“He obviously has a lot of events left. And so it was a quick decision that we made in conjunction with him and our medical staff and the coaches,” Mintenko said. “It라이브 바카라 the right decision and especially for Caeleb라이브 바카라 long-term health. And that라이브 바카라 ultimately what we’re here for, for the health of our athletes.”

For the 25-year-old Dressel – a seven-time Olympic gold medalist – it라이브 바카라 a big blow.

“Caeleb has worked really hard for this,” Mintenko said. “Any time you come to a world championships or any big competition, international competition, and if you can’t compete, it라이브 바카라 very difficult. And so we’re just going to take it one day at a time. We have a wonderful team here with us. We’re doing exceptionally well and really looking forward to the next few days.”

Dressel라이브 바카라 teammates responded Tuesday by adding three more gold medals to take the team라이브 바카라 tally to 10. He had claimed gold in the 50 butterfly on Sunday, a day after helping the United States win the men라이브 바카라 4×100 freestyle relay.

“Feels good to get the first individual (gold) out of the way,” said Dressel, who didn’t know it would be his last in this competition.

Also Wednesday, Australian swimmer Shayna Jack broke her hand in training and will miss the rest of the worlds.

She was warming up for the morning라이브 바카라 100-meter freestyle heats at the time.

The 23-year-old Jack helped Australia to gold in the women라이브 바카라 4x100 freestyle relay on Saturday and silver in the mixed 4x100 medley relay on Tuesday.

Hong Kong라이브 바카라 Siobhán Haughey, the Olympic silver medalist in the women라이브 바카라 100, also withdrew on Monday due to an ankle injury.

Australia라이브 바카라 Mollie O’Callaghan was fastest in 100 qualifying in their absence, followed by Canada라이브 바카라 Penny Oleksiak, Torri Huske of the U.S., and world record holder Sarah Sjöström.

Four-time Olympic medalist Chad Le Clos withdrew from the men라이브 바카라 competition Monday. The South African said on social media that he had been struggling with his breathing for the previous three weeks “since having multiple stints of bronchitis.”
