Great Britain’s Adam Peaty was in the middle of the pack of his semi-final heat at the 25-meter mark, but he unleashed on the field over the back half and won the race in 26.23, more than a half-second ahead of the field. Peaty’s time broke his own championship record of 26.50 set in the morning prelims.
Peaty’s time is the fourth-fastest performance in history, and no other man has ever been quicker.
Italy’s Fabio Scozzoli qualified second in 26.80, and Serbia’s Caba Siladji also broke 27 with a 26.99. Slovenia’s Peter John Stevens qualified fourth in 27.08.
Other finalists will include Belarus’ Ilya Shymanovich (27.09), the Netherlands’ Ties Elzerman (27.15), Germany’s Fabien Schwingenschlogl (27.16) and Russia’s Kirill Prigoda (27.17).
