Arno Kamminga<\/strong> lowered his national 100m breaststroke record to 58.42 at the Netherlands Team Time Trials <\/strong>to remain the fourth-fastest man in history and third in the world this year.<\/p>\n

The three-time European short-course champion split 27.31\/31.11 in Eindhoven with a morning swim that augurs well for Tokyo with its early finals.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old was catapulted to third all-time with the Antwerp swim behind only Adam Peaty<\/strong> (56.88) and Ilya Shymanovich<\/strong> (58.29).<\/p>\n
Nicolo Martinenghi<\/strong> also announced himself as another looking to break the 58-second barrier when he displaced Kamminga with a time of 58.37 at the Italian Championships<\/strong> in Riccione at the start of April.<\/a><\/p>\n
Peaty tops this year’s rankings in 57.39<\/a> – on a day where he twice went 57 at the British trials in London – ahead of Martinenghi and Kamminga, who went 58.6 on two occasions at the Eindhoven Qualification Meet<\/strong> earlier this month.<\/a><\/p>\n
Kamminga became the fourth man to gain entry to the 2:06 club over 200m when he went 2:06.85<\/a> at the 2020 Rotterdam Qualification Meet<\/strong> in December last year.<\/p>\n
Shoma Sato<\/strong> was the fifth swimmer inside 2:07 at the Kitajima Cup<\/strong> in January and now stands second all-time behind Anton Chupkov’<\/strong>s world record of 2:06.12 after going 2:06.40 at the Japanese Olympic trials<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n
