The man that is Adam Peaty raced his way to a new meet record on day 2 of the 2020 Edinburgh International Swim Meet.
Tonight’s men’s 100m breast was Peaty’s 2nd individual event of the meet after the 25-year-old competed in the 200m breast heats yesterday where the Loughborough star produced a morning outing of 2:15.09 before opting out of the final.
In this morning’s prelims of the 100m breast, Peaty played it cool with an easy-looking 59.55 top-seeded effort to register the only sub-minute outing of the field.
Tonight, however, the reigning Olympic Champion and World Record holder in the event crushed a menacing 58.13 to finish 1.35 seconds ahead of teammate James Wilby. Wilby touched in 59.48 for silver, while Ross Murdoch rounded out the top 3 in 1:00.68.
Peaty’s 58.13 swim tonight was broken down into splits of 27.12/31.01 to bring him to the top of the world rankings for the season. His previous fastest since last August was represented by the 58.78 he logged at the McCullagh International in February.

Probably wasn’t even tapered
Or rested or shaved
Probably had COVID-19, too.
PEDy.
Wash yo mouth out
Id bet on Adam Peaty to save humanity against corona virus
there is No One to save from a virus …..its all made up .
I…
four things in life are guaranteed. Death, Taxes, government incompetence, and Peaty making opponents wonder why they even race him in a 100 Breaststroke final.
Unless it’s SCM.
I guess he wasn’t happy having somebody swimming faster than him. Quite the statement, over half a second faster than he has ever been at this time of year.
If he’s smart, he’ll get some fast swims in before the Olympics are canceled. Those Florida boys who went bonkers at SECs are looking pretty smart right now.
He’s looking in the best shape I’ve ever seen, hopefully olympics goes ahead!
