The goal is not to count medals, it's just racing the best I can.
American professional swimmer, Caeleb Dressel has broken records in swimming. Perhaps that's why Google has decided to award him with a 6 ft 3 in height listing.
Caeleb is tall but not 6 feet 3 inches tall. Wikipedia lists his height at a more sensible 6 ft 2 in, but we feel that still lefts something to be desired.
After taking a careful look at Caeleb, we think he is a bit shorter than his official height listing. Caeleb seems to be a couple inches shorter than Michael Phelps after tall, who is no more than 6 feet 3 inches in real life (billed as 6'4" tall). Below is our official guess for Caeleb Dressel's real height.
The height of Caeleb Dressel is
6'1" or 185 cm
