In today’s 50 breast final at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, we saw a shocking turn of events when South Africa’s Cameron Van Der Burgh was able to get in front of World Record holder, England’s Adam Peaty, by posting a time of 26.58 while Peaty was 26.62.
Fellow Englishmen James Wilby, earned bronze in a time of 27.37.
After a quick turnaround from the 50 free semi-final, South Africa’s Brad Tandy took eighth in a time of 28.37.
