Adam Peaty Launches ‘Project Immortal’ In Seach For Time That Can Never Be Touched<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last time Adam Peaty<\/strong> designated a name for the work logged by the British star and coach Mel Marshall<\/strong><\/a>, the joint effort was dubbed \u201cProject 56.\u201d In that pursuit, Peaty sought to become the first man in history to crack the 57-second barrier in the 100-meter breaststroke. It was a lofty goal to set, particularly since no man other than Peaty \u2013 at the time \u2013 had even dipped under the 58-second threshold.<\/p>\n

Peaty closed the book on \u201cProject 56\u201d at the 2019 World Championships in South Korea, where he delivered an almost unfathomable performance of 56.88 during the semifinal round. Pandemic be damned, Peaty endured a yearlong delay until the Olympic Games<\/a> in Tokyo, where he defended his title in the 100 breaststroke.<\/p>\n

Now, the 27-year-old is looking ahead and eager to chase additional greatness for what is already a Hall of Fame career. A fun-filled stint on \u201cStrictly Come Dancing\u201d complete, Peaty has announced the name for his newest plan, a blueprint that will take him to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Through \u201cProject Immortal,\u201d Peaty is intent on leaving a mark in his event that cannot be touched.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoing a time that can never be beaten,\u201d Peaty said was the defining characteristic of his latest endeavor. \u201cThe next three years is how we achieve Project Immortal. More than ever, we have to kind of attack. I know where I need to be to get to Project Immortal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Never is an almost impossible task when it comes to a stopwatch sport. At some point, all records are broken. For Peaty, though, the gap between him and the competition is a chasm, as only Arno Kamminga<\/strong> has been within a second of the Brit, the Dutchman owning a career-best mark of 57.80. So, if any current standout deserves the green light to discuss perpetuity, it is Peaty, who is also targeting the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to let someone say, just because I\u2019ve reached a certain age, (that) I\u2019m not a good swimmer anymore. That doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d he said. \u201cThe reason I\u2019m the fastest swimmer in the world is because I\u2019ve thought differently. 2028 would take me to 14 years as a pro athlete \u2013 a 30-year career. I\u2019m game for it, why not? Seven more years to set a time that no one will ever beat and achieve sporting immortality \u2013 the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The oldest current long-course standard in men\u2019s competition is the 4:03.84 that Michael Phelps<\/strong> unleashed in the 400 individual medley to jumpstart the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
