Ilya Shymanovich Lowers Peaty’s SCM 100 Breaststroke World Record"},"content":{"rendered":"

Ilya Shymanovich<\/strong>, fresh off a best time in the 50 breaststroke<\/a> at the Belarusian short course championships in Brest, broke the first world record of his career on Saturday with a 55.34 in the 100 breaststroke in short course meters to lower Adam Peaty’s\u00a0<\/strong>record he set last month in the International Swimming League.<\/p>\n

It is the third time that world record has been set this year after Peaty initially broke\u00a0Cameron van der Burgh’s\u00a0<\/strong>2009 record in the ISL semi-finals, and lowered it again over Shymanovich in the final. Shymanovich was a 55.49 during the ISL season for the second fastest time overall.<\/p>\n

It is a huge step for the sport considering there were serious talks about the possibility of no world records falling in 2020<\/a> due to the complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic where many of the best athletes were forced out of their training routines and halted their preparations for what were the 2020 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Shymanovich was out in 25.88, compared to Peaty’s record pace of 25.85, and the Belarusian was home in a 29.46 to stretch his hands to a new world record.<\/p>\n
