You know, through the heats it was about getting the job done, get to the semifinal. Tonight Mel (coach Mel Marshall) was just like business \u2013 just getting out there, enjoying the crowd, a bit of adrenaline and it\u2019s put me in the best lane for the final so we\u2019ll see what I get there tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve been in this situation many times before but again it\u2019s about enjoying it. I don\u2019t want to come out there tomorrow and be anxious \u2013 of course we\u2019ll have nerves, I embrace the nerves, I love the nerves \u2013 but whatever the result tomorrow, I want to finish with a smile and know that I gave my all with no mistakes and I think I can do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The qualification times for the final were noticeably slower than three years ago in Tokyo where Peaty went 57.63 followed by four men on 58s led by Kamminga in 58.19 with <strong>Andrew Wilson<\/strong> of the USA slowest through in 59.18.<\/p>\n<p>While Peaty believes the winning time may be slower than his 58.86 tonight, he expected the overall QTs to have been faster although he emphasised it was all about winning the race.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Times don\u2019t mean anything here, times do not mean a single thing here,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It\u2019s about who gets their hand on the wall to get those top-three finishes and that is sport in its most beautiful form.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We don\u2019t care about the times, we don\u2019t care about all that. Of course we dissect it, of course we use it, but it\u2019s about the racing and that is what I love, that\u2019s what runs through every single vein in my body and tomorrow I\u2019m just looking for a little bit of joy through that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kamminga echoed Peaty, saying: &#8220;This slow (to make the final?) No! After this morning, yes, but if I\u2019ve learned anything over the years it\u2019s not about times, it\u2019s places. So just get your hand on the wall first so whether it\u2019s a fast or slow pool, it doesn\u2019t matter. Just get your hands touching the wall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Netherlands swimmer fell ill at the 2022 World Championships in Budapest which, combined with burnout, saw him miss most of the remainder of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that and the fact he missed a huge block of training, not only did Kamminga manage to compete at the Fukuoka worlds but he was part of an historic three-way tie for gold with Fink and Martinenghi.<\/p>\n<p>Of whether he had ever had to confront the possibility of not making it back to the position in which he finds himself on the brink of another Olympic final, Kamminga told Swimming World: &#8220;To be honest, maybe up until last week. There\u2019s been a lot of ups and downs this year, this season, especially a lot of low points where I got sick again and again and it didn\u2019t want to happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I soldiered on, kept my head up and kept working and all the pieces are coming together now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/paris-olympics-day-1-prelims-caspar-corbeau-heads-100m-breaststroke-ahead-of-adam-peaty-qin-haiyang-through-in-ninth\/\/\">Paris Olympics, Day 1 Prelims: Caspar Corbeau Heads 100m Breaststroke Ahead Of Adam Peaty: Qin Haiyang Ninth<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"592682\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/paris-olympics-day-1-semis-adam-peaty-one-step-away-from-the-three-peat-books-lane-four-ahead-of-qin-haiyang\/screenshot-2024-07-27-220125\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-27-220125.png\" data-orig-size=\"887,434\" 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=\"Screenshot 2024-07-27 220125\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-27-220125-700x434.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-27-220125.png\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-592682 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-27-220125-700x434.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"434\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris Olympics, Day 1 Semis: Adam Peaty One Step Away From The Three-Peat;
