Indeed, that global standard went down on Saturday at the Duna Arena in Budapest, as the London Roar\u2019s\u00a0<strong>Kira Toussaint<\/strong>\u00a0covered her two laps in 25.60 to better the 2014 mark of\u00a0<strong>Etiene Medeiros<\/strong>.

Now, the Dutchwoman is a world-record holder. Toussaint blasted to the front of the field and came off the turn with a sizable lead that suggested she would chase the world record. Dolphin-kicking on her side entering the second lap, Toussaint powered to the surface and stayed strong to the wall.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that\u00a0<strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong>\u00a0is the greatest 100 breaststroker in history, and with a short-course world record added to his ledger on Sunday afternoon, the British star only enhanced his legacy in the event.<\/p>\n<p>Racing for the London Roar in the semifinals of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/isl.global\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Swimming League<\/a>, Peaty took down South African\u00a0<strong>Cameron van der<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Burgh\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a011-year-old world record in the 100 breaststroke, a clocking of 55.49 getting the job done.

Peaty was pushed the entire way by Belarus\u2019\u00a0<strong>Ilya Shymanovich<\/strong>, who was a hundredth back of Peaty at the midway point and touched in 55.69, the third-fastest performance in history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>\u00a0obliterated the world record in the 100 IM at Monday\u2019s ISL Semifinal 2, going 49.88 in the 100 individual medley.<\/p>\n<p>The world record had been\u00a0<strong>Vlad Morozov\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a050.26, the Russian with a stranglehold on the top 10 times in history before the ISL season began.
