Those swims made him the instant favorite for double breaststroke gold at the Paris Olympics, but the man who owned a faster time in the shorter events, <strong>Adam<\/strong> <strong>Peaty<\/strong>, was on the way back.<\/p>\n<p>Peaty has completed a limited slate of major competitions since the Tokyo Olympics, and his previous dominance has been missing.

He is just a quarter-second behind the best effort Qin has ever clocked (57.69). Qin, meanwhile, has the No. 2 time of the year at 58.24 form the Chinese National Championships. These men finishing in the top-two in some order is the likely outcome for the Olympic final.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_534095\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-534095\" data-attachment-id=\"534095\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympic-swimming-top-races-no-3-adam-peaty-eyeing-100-breaststroke-three-peat-against-qin-haiyang\/20th-world-aquatics-championships-fukuoka-2023-369\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-world-championships-day-6-3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Andrea Masini \\\/ Deepbluemedia \\\/ Insidefoto&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Haiyang Qin of China shows the gold medal after competing in the 200m Breaststroke Men Final with a New World Record during the 20th World Aquatics Championships at the Marine Messe Hall A in Fukuoka (Japan), July 28th, 2023.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1690549433&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Andrea Masini \\\/ Deepbluemedia \\\/ Insidefoto&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;70&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;20th World Aquatics Championships Fukuoka 2023&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20th World Aquatics Championships Fukuoka 2023\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10\/2\/23&lt;br \/&gt;\nHaiyang Qin of China shows the gold medal after competing in the 200m Breaststroke Men Final with a New World Record during the 20th World Aquatics Championships at the Marine Messe Hall A in Fukuoka (Japan), July 28th, 2023.

Previously, <strong>Michael Phelps<\/strong> won four consecutive golds in the 200 IM (2004-2008-2012-2016) and three straight in the 100 butterfly (2004-2008-2012) along with three non-consecutive gold medals in the 200 fly.

Three attempts at three-peats were felled at the London Games before Phelps topped the 200 IM final: Phelps missed the podium in the 400 IM, as did Japan\u2019s <strong>Kosuke Kitajima<\/strong> in the 100 breast, while South Africa\u2019s <strong>Chad le Clos<\/strong> touched out Phelps for gold in the 200 fly.<\/p>\n<p>Peaty, now 29, retains a real chance of coming through and securing his place among the sport\u2019s all-time greats in Paris, with a flair for the dramatic in big moments likely to show through in an Olympic final.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the top-two, there are plenty of men who could sneak onto the podium, led by the duo that joined Peaty on the podium in Tokyo. The Netherlands\u2019 <strong>Arno Kamminga<\/strong>, the silver medalist three years ago, is one of three men (along with Peaty and Qin) to ever swim below 58 seconds while Italy\u2019s <strong>Nicolo Martinenghi<\/strong> won bronze in that Olympic final and a world title a year later. Kamminga, Martinenghi and the United States\u2019 <strong>Nic Fink<\/strong> all tied for silver at the World Championships in 2023 while Fink <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-day-two-finals-nic-fink-wins-100m-breaststroke-gold-ahead-of-nicolo-martinenghi-adam-peaty-returns-to-world-podium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">came out on top of a tight final in Doha<\/a> (with Qin absent).<\/p>\n<p>Russian <strong>Evgenii Somov<\/strong> will compete in <a href=\"https:\/\/olympics.com\/en\/paris-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paris<\/a> as a neutral athlete after he blasted a time of 58.72 at the Atlanta Classic in May.
