Germany’s Marco Koch pulled away over the last 10 meters and took gold in the men’s 100 breast at the Short Course World Championships in Kazan.
Koch touched in 56.77 to win the World title, 0.23 ahead of Russia’s Vladimir Morozov, who picked up the silver as he touched out four other swimmers who were all within a tenth of a second.
Italy’s Fabio Scozzoli got the bronze in 57.04, just ahead of Brazil’s Felipe Franca Silva (57.05), Russia’s Oleg Kostin (57.07) and the USA’s Cody Miller (57.08), all hard-luck finishers on the night.
Another American, Nic Fink, took seventh in 57.22, and Belarus’ Ilya Shymanovich touched eighth in 57.28.

This is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated show-downs at next month’s Euro-Meet in Luxemborg. Peaty is signed up, as is Koch. Hopefully Morozov and Scozzoli will also be there. Should be a good race.
