Topic: Adam Peaty

[Crosby Nick]

I know Swimming only really gets watched during the Olympics but Adam Peaty is fairly incredible. After his Olympics antics he's in action at the World Championships. Won the 100m Breaststroke with ease yesterday and has just broken the 50m World Record twice in a day in the heats today, becoming the first man to swim it in under 26 seconds. I know nothing about times in swimming compared to athletics but seems very quick anyway! He's in a league of his own. Sadly the 50m isn't an Olympic event so he's never going to tack up a host of medals in his career but he seems very impressive anyway.

Can probably close the thread here but good to see a British guy dominating a world event.

The lad is from my home town - my sister used to swim in the same swimming club as him (beat him as well when they were both kids ) and one of my mates looks after his cat when his family are out of the country for competitions.

It's absolutely incredible what he has achieved and he's still only 22. He has the 10 fastest times in history in the 100m breaststroke and he has just broken the world record twice in one day in the 50m which isn't even his main event. The man is simply brilliant.

He's head and shoulders above the rest, I think he's got the 10 fastest times in history in the 100m!!!

He's just gone under 26 seconds again to win the 50m world title. Missed his own world record by 4 hundredths of a second.
