Fresh from winning the men's 100m breaststroke gold on Monday night, Peaty blasted out his world-record time to qualify for Tuesday night's semi-finals. "I wasn't going for a world record, I was just trying to qualify for the semis," said Peaty. It is the third time he has held the 50m world record in his career. The South African was the joint record holder with Peaty before the Brit lowered his own time in Kazan.
