Adam Peaty<\/strong> of Great Britain, the heavy favorite in the men’s 100-meter breast after clocking a world record in April set a meet record in the event at the 2015 FINA World Championships.<\/p>\n

Peaty threw down a 58.52 during prelims to clip the previous meet record of 58.58 set by Brenton Rickard<\/strong> in 2009. \u00a0It’s not quite Peaty’s world record of 57.92, but still plenty fast for the morning.<\/p>\n

South Africa’s Cameron van der Burgh also cleared 59 second with a 58.59 for the second seed as swimmers saw some of the fastest 100 breaststrokes ever in back-to-back heats.<\/p>\n

Peaty’s time stands third all time, while van der Burgh’s is fifth all time.<\/p>\n
