Adam Peaty has smashed his own world record on his way to a stunning 100m breaststroke gold medal at Glasgow 2018.
Peaty couldn’t have got any closer to achieving his ‘Project 56’ target, setting a new world’s best time of 57.00 in an incredible display on day two of the 2018 European Swimming Championships.
It beat his previous world record, set at the Rio Olympics in 2016, by 0.13 seconds.
James Wilby made it a one-two for Great Britain as he finished second to take the silver medal in 58.54, while Russia’s Anton Chupkov claimed bronze in 58.96.
Peaty said: “The European Championships hold a very close place in my heart because it’s where I got my first world record.
“After the heats swim yesterday I knew I was in good shape, but for me it was a weird one as I wasn’t going out there to break a world record.
“I got to 50m and it felt so easy, then coming back, all the passion, emotion and let down from the Commonwealths pushed me down that last 50.
“Breaking this record puts me and Great Britain in a great place for two years time.
“As a nation we are looking very strong in the 100m breast and that’s a really important thing. And if I can go into the relay even faster who knows what could happen!”
Earlier this morning, Georgia Davies smashed the European record as she booked her place in the semi-finals of the 50m backstroke.
Davies swam a time of 27.21 to win heat five and shave 0.02 seconds off the record that was shared by Daniela Samulski and Aliaksandra Herasimenia. In the evening, she won her semi-final.
