Team USA swimming star Caeleb Dressel led the pack in the men's 4×100-meter freestyle relay final Saturday night at Paris La Defense Arena, seeking his eighth Olympic gold medal.
And as Dressel gave it his all in the pool to claim America's first Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games, every American fan in the crowd was on their feet and going wild.
Among them were legendary rapper Snoop Dogg and Dressel's wife Meghan, with their sleeping baby in her arms, going wild together as the race came to a dramatic end.

Once it was certain that the United States would win the medal, Dogg and Dressel high-fived in joy.
