World Swimming Championship: Peaty brought down the world record in the 50m breaststroke

That's a world record that has not held for long. While Cameron van der Brugh had set a new benchmark in the 50m breaststroke Tuesday morning (26''62), Adam Peaty swam two tenths slower in the semifinals. The British signed a cannon chrono (26''42) and will be the favorite for tomorrow's final. With the South African at his side, the race could still swim very, very fast. Enjoy pictures of this world record that might not have a long life.
