This week\u2019s Performance Of The Week, <\/span>sponsored by LumaLanes<\/span><\/a>, goes to <\/span>Adam Peaty<\/b>, who continued to push the boundaries of what is possible in the men\u2019s 100 breaststroke after he broke yet <\/span>another world record in the event<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Initially clocking 57.00 in the final of the 100 breaststroke at the 2018 European Championships in Glasgow, it looked like Peaty was just .01 away from breaking the 57 second barrier. That was his fourth world record in the event and first since the Olympic final in Rio de Janeiro two years ago. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, the next day we learned Peaty hadn\u2019t actually swum a 57.00 — due to timing issues on the second day of the meet, the original record of 57.00 was actually .10 faster than what Peaty actually clocked. That makes Peaty\u2019s official time 57.10, still .03 below his old world record. You can read the full statement of the timing malfunction <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>, and watch Peaty\u2019s record swim below:<\/span><\/p>\n
