MANILA, Philippines—Luke Gebbie concluded his Tokyo Olympics campaign, failing to qualify for the semifinals of the men’s 50-meter freestyle swimming competition at Tokyo Aquatics Center Friday.

Though Gebbie topped Heat 5, his time of 22.84 seconds wasn’t enough to crack the top 16. He finished 41st overall in the heats.
