There will be six swimmers in the water at the Tokyo Aquatic Centre whose goal, as much as getting a medal, will be to disrupt that.<\/p>\n<p>But if, as the times indicate it could, the race devolves into a man-a-mano joust between <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> and <strong>Arno Kamminga<\/strong> for gold, it\u2019ll be between two rivals grateful for the presence of the other.<\/p>\n<p>Both men staked their claims <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-adam-peaty-cruises-to-57-63-in-100-breaststroke-semifinals-americans-michael-andrew-and-andrew-wilson-sneak-into-final\/\">in Sunday\u2019s semifinal<\/a>.

Peaty came back and controlled the final semi by more than a second, winning in 57.63.<\/p>\n<p>The two sub-58 Europeans will undoubtedly be the class of the final.

And it\u2019s nice racing next to him because he drags me along the first 50, and then the real race starts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love to race,\u201d Peaty said. \u201cI\u2019m a scrapper. I know when it comes down to the last 15, I\u2019ve got something that no one else has got. So it\u2019s just seeing how that replicates tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peaty has the edge in, well, just about every sense. He holds the world record, the only voyager to the subterranean depths beneath 57 seconds. He owns <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/newsround\/56761738\">the top 15 times in history<\/a>. He bested Kamminga at the European Championships in May, winning the 50 and 100 as Kamminga took silver in the 100 and 200. And he\u2019s the reigning Olympic champ.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Peaty was less worried about time and more about survival, as is the mandate of the semifinals. He is adjusting to the oddity of an evening prelim, a morning semi then a 24-hour wait until the final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery strange. But it\u2019s definitely new,\u201d Peaty said. \u201cI\u2019m just adapting to it, I guess. We\u2019ve tried to race as much as we can, trying to put an emphasis on the heats in the morning to replicate a final, but there\u2019s only so much you can do. When you come to Olympics, you\u2019ve got way more waiting, you wait longer for food, wait longer for racing and stuff like that. It\u2019s all about controlling the controllables and enjoying that. But it\u2019s very different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel like Olympics, which is very strange because you come here and you rely on that kind of oomph, but there\u2019s not many people in the crowd because it\u2019s all athletes or coaches or media, which is very different. But I know tomorrow, I\u2019m going to have to make my own story up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kamminga was excited Sunday to reach his first major final, a relatively late bloomer at 25. That was the only goal, and with Peaty in a different heat, he didn\u2019t worry after his British rival.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s looking forward to the power boost derived from behind next to Peaty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he\u2019s close to you and you feel you\u2019re catching up, it\u2019s so much extra power compared to being all alone and just feeling the water and how it feels,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen someone\u2019s next to you and you feel like you\u2019re catching up, it gives you so much more strength than you would imagine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are swimmers with a chance to break the duopoly. <strong>Nicolo Martinenghi<\/strong> of Italy tracked Kamminga to go 58.28, a best time by one hundredth of a second for the world junior record holder. <strong>Michael Andrew<\/strong> has visited the land of sub-58.5 with a 58.14.<\/p>\n<p>But it will take a time in the 57s, at the least, to win gold, maybe to get on the podium. And there\u2019s only two men proven to consistently provide that.<\/p>\n<p>Peaty was coy about what he might have in the tank for the final. But he\u2019s not shy about expressing his excitement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day has new challenges, new victories,\u201d Peaty said. \u201cAs long as the sun rises and I\u2019m awake, my eyes are open, anything can happen. The finals are the finals, and I\u2019m looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Peaty, Arno Kamminga Set for Two-Man Duel in Olympic 100 Breast Final The
