For all the focus on Caeleb Dressel, Australia's Emma McKeon could leave the Tokyo Olympics with more swimming medals than anyone.

The 27-year-old from Brisbane added to her burgeoning collection on Saturday, anchoring the Aussies to a bronze in the new 4x100-meter mixed medley relay.

Heading into the final day at the pool, McKeon has five medals overall and a real shot at becoming the first female swimmer to win seven at a single games.

"That's amazing," said Dressel, who has three golds in Tokyo and hopes to win two more Sunday. She's the favourite in 50 free after setting Olympic records in both the preliminaries and semi-finals.
