By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

After he won Olympic gold in the 100 breast in Rio, Adam Peaty<\/strong> set his sights on a new mission. He was already one of the transcendent breaststrokers in history, having lowered the world record, previously 58.46, to 57.92 and then to 57.55 and finally to 57.13 on his way to gold. No one was within a second.<\/p>\n

By the next year, he was focused on: \u201cHow far can the human body go?\u201d The man with a tempo-power breaststroke combination superior to anyone before him called this quest \u201cProject 56.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about racing the best guys in the world for me,\u201d Peaty said at the World Championships in Budapest. \u201cIt\u2019s about how far can I take my body? To go 56, you\u2019re going to have to go very, very fast and train very, very hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saturday in Glasgow at the European Championships, Peaty almost pulled it off. Four months after he showed up at the Commonwealth Games and pulled off a top time of 58.59\u2014at that point, faster than all but one other man in history but more than a second off his best\u2014Peaty\u2019s European title on home soil came in world-record fashion.<\/p>\n

The time was 57.00<\/a>, 13-hundredths quicker than Rio. Peaty now sits 1.46 seconds ahead of anyone else in history. James<\/strong> Wilby<\/strong>, Peaty\u2019s fellow Brit who captured the silver medal in Glasgow, finished in 58.54, which makes him the third-fastest man ever, behind Peaty and Cameron van der Burgh<\/strong>. He got beat by more than a second and a half.<\/p>\n

None of this is new. None of this is surprising. And no, 57.13 doesn\u2019t sound all that much different than 57.00, and 13-hundredths is the smallest margin by which Peaty has ever broken the world record in his signature event. That doesn\u2019t make the record any less stunning.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the difference between this record and the one from the Olympics: Rio was a conclusion, and it was a legitimate question whether the then-21-year-old would ever swim quicker. Now that he has, a 56 is within the length of a fingernail.<\/p>\n

A decade ago, Brendan Hansen<\/strong> vs. Kosuke Kitajima<\/strong> was considered the premier rivalry in swimming and perhaps in breaststroke. Both men are long since removed from their days as elite swimmers\u2014in fact, both were on deck at U.S. Nationals last week in new capacities, Kitajima for media and Hansen as a coach.<\/p>\n

Hansen\u2019s fastest time in the event was 59.13, the world record from 2006 to 2008. Kitajima\u2019s best was 58.91, swum on his way to Olympic gold in 2008. Neither one is that far off from Wilby\u2019s time, and Hansen\u2019s was much faster than the winning time in the event at Nationals, 59.38.<\/p>\n

Peaty is two seconds faster. He\u2019s on another planet\u2014and in 2019 or 2020, he will surely swim a 56. If there were any doubts after his sluggish Commonwealth Games, forget about it.<\/p>\n

\n

Wet Take<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kliment Kolesnikov could be the best teenage male swimmer since Michael Phelps.<\/h3>\n

For now, the 18-year-old Kolesnikov is the first man since Phelps to set a world record as a teenager. (Phelps had set 13 world records before turning 20.) He\u2019s also the first male to set both a world record and a world junior record in the same race, since world junior records did not exist until April 1, 2014. (Katie Ledecky<\/strong> is the only woman to do so.)<\/p>\n

If Peaty\u2019s world record from Glasgow was a mild surprise, Kolesnikov\u2019s was a complete stunner. He wasn\u2019t even the favorite to win that race, and he was the youngest man in the field by more than three years. And he became the one to break Liam Tancock\u2019s<\/strong> nine-year-old suit-aided record of 24.04, posting a time of 24.00<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the craziest part: The 50 back, at least historically, has been the weakest of the three backstroke events for Kolesnikov. He was 17th in that event at last year\u2019s World Championships, his time of 25.25 a world away from his world record of 2018. In the 100, he won a swim-off for first alternate in 53.38. In the 200, he took fourth in 1:55.14.<\/p>\n

That 200 time remains the world junior record, while Kolesnikov has already lowered his 100-meter WJR to 52.97. Expect much more in those events this week. Kolesnikov should be considered the heavy favorite for a European title in the 100 back and a co-favorite in the 200, along with countryman and World Champion Evgeny<\/strong> Rylov<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

More to come from Kolesnikov, for sure, and not just in 2018. A reminder: He\u2019s 18.<\/p>\n

\n

Useless Stats of the Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The three world records in the past week all ended in .00.<\/h3>\n

Kathleen Baker\u2019s<\/strong> 100 back world record was 58.00. Peaty\u2019s 100 breast was 57.00. Kolesnikov\u2019s 50 back was 24.00. A very weird coincidence.<\/p>\n

Out of 34 individual world records in swimming, five of them were set to an exact second. The others on the list include Paul Biedermann\u2019s<\/strong> 1:42.00 in the men\u2019s 200 free and Ryan Lochte\u2019s<\/strong> 1:54.00 in the men\u2019s 200 IM.<\/p>\n

Robert Glinta beats Shane Ryan in the Rose Bowl of European swimming.<\/h3>\n

On Jan. 1, 2017, USC beat Penn State 52-49 in football\u2014the American version\u2014in the historic Rose Bowl Game. In something of a rematch in the men\u2019s 50 back final at the European Championships, USC swimmer Glinta took silver in 24.55, while Penn State graduate Ryan settled for bronze in 24.64.<\/p>\n

After winning Olympic gold in the 50 free in 2016, Blume failed to medal in the event at last year\u2019s World Championships. She has shown massive improvements this year: 23.92 in June, 23.85 in the European semi-finals and then 23.75 in the final, when she finished one-hundredth behind gold medalist Sarah<\/strong> Sjostrom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the Olympics, Blume\u2019s winning time was 24.07. In a 50, she has dropped more than three tenths in two years.<\/p>\n

DOWN \u2013 Laszlo Cseh<\/h3>\n

The 32-year-old won silver in the 200 fly at last year\u2019s World Championships, but he is now struggling in his attempts to be the best in his own country. He qualified fifth in the 200 fly prelims at the European Championships, but he found himself locked out of the semi-finals with three younger Hungarians in front of him: 18-year-old Kristof<\/strong> Milak<\/strong>, 21-year-old Tamas Kenderesi<\/strong> and 25-year-old Bence<\/strong> Bizco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

SAME \u2013 Mehdy Metella<\/h3>\n

In 2017, Metella won bronze in the 100 free at the World Championships and finished the year ranked No. 2 in the event at 47.65. So far this year, he\u2019s ranked outside the top-15, and his season best, 48.31, came in qualifying second for the European final of the event. On paper, he\u2019d be considered the heavy gold-medal favorite, but he\u2019s failed to distinguish himself so far.<\/p>\n

Impact Race of Tomorrow: Yulia Efimova\u2019s 100 Breast at European Championships<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yulia Efimova<\/strong> won\u2019t face Lilly King<\/strong> head to head this year, so the Russian will be the big favorite in the women\u2019s 100 breast final at the European championships. The race is scheduled to go off at 5:25 p.m. local time Sunday evening in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the middle of the night\u20141:25 a.m., to be exact\u2014in Tokyo, where King will have just arrived with Team USA for the Pan Pacific Championships. In advance of King\u2019s own 100 breast race Thursday, she will be paying attention. When she gets on the blocks in Tokyo, she will know exactly the mark she has to beat to be the top swimmer in the world for 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
