Yet, beyond Peaty&#8217;s presence in the 50-meter breaststroke, plenty of stars were in action at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre. Additional semifinal competition was held in the women&#8217;s 100 freestyle, men&#8217;s 100 butterfly and women&#8217;s 100 breaststroke.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what happened in the semifinal races.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/results.birmingham2022.com\/#\/athletic-sports-schedule\/SWM\/*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet Results<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Men&#8217;s 50 Breaststroke<\/h3>\n<p>Can <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> capture the lone major crown not in his collection? Bouncing back from his fourth-place showing in the 100 breaststroke, the English star qualified second for the final of the 50 breaststroke behind an effort of 27.03. That time was slightly bettered by Aussie <strong>Sam Williamson<\/strong> in the second semifinal, as he touched in 27.01. Peaty was the silver medalist in this event at the past two Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n<p>Peaty has openly discussed the disappointment and heartache which accompanied his performance in the 100 breast, and he has vowed to sort through what went wrong and fight on. Before returning to training and reflection, he&#8217;ll have a chance to ease some of the sting in the final of the 50 breast. Qualifying third was South African <strong>Michael Houlie<\/strong>, who was timed in 27.39.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"510462\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/commonwealth-games-semifinals-adam-peaty-positions-self-for-chase-at-50-breaststroke-title\/m50breastsfcg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M50Breastsfcg.png\" data-orig-size=\"561,269\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"M50Breastsfcg\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;M50Breastsfcg&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy:&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M50Breastsfcg.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M50Breastsfcg.png\" class=\" wp-image-510462\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M50Breastsfcg.png\" alt=\"M50Breastsfcg\" width=\"672\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M50Breastsfcg.png 561w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M50Breastsfcg-280x134.png 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M50Breastsfcg-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M50Breastsfcg-450x216.png 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M50Breastsfcg-533x256.png 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Women&#8217;s 100 Freestyle<\/h3>\n<p>The Australians are looking good for another podium sweep in a freestyle event, as <strong>Emma McKeon<\/strong>, <strong>Mollie O&#8217;Callaghan<\/strong> and <strong>Shayna Jack<\/strong> recorded the fastest-three marks in the semifinals of the 100 freestyle.
