Great Britain’s Adam Peaty, the world-record holder in the event, powered by South Africa’s Cameron van der Burgh to win the men’s 100-meter breast at the 2015 FINA World Championships.

Peaty, who set the world record with a stunning 57.92 at British Nationals in April, turned up the heat down the stretch to win the final in 58.52.  That’s just a bit off his meet record 58.18 from semifinals.

Van der Burgh made a huge push for gold, going out in 26.79, but settled for silver with a time of 58.59. That’s just off his national record of 58.46 as he claimed his eighth career world championship medal.  Van der Burgh now has two golds, two silvers and four bronzes in his career.

Great Britain’s Ross Murdoch chased down bronze with a scorching final 50 meter 31.14 as he clocked a 59.09 for third overall.
