Great Britain’s Adam Peaty just missed his meet record during semis of the men’s 100-meter breast at the 2016 European Championships.

Peaty stopped the clock in a time of 58.74, just missing his 58.68 from the 2014 Berlin stop of the meet.

Peaty’s been faster than both swims this year with a top-ranked 58.41 from the British Nationals.

Teammate Ross Murdoch took second in semis with a 59.67, off his third-ranked season best of 59.31 from British Nationals as well.

Lithuania’s Giedrius Titenis (59.99), Slovenia’s Damir Dugonjic (1:00.06), Italy’s Andrea Toniato (1:00.48), Greece’s Panagiotis Samilidis (1:00.59), Iceland’s Anton McKee (1:00.98) and Switzerland’s Yannick Kaeser (1:01.13) also earned spots in the finale.
