Adam Peaty has broken his own world record to win European Championship Gold in the 100m Breaststroke. His latest achievement is the 10th time he has broken a world record as he continues to blow the opposition away. Read on to find out more about this amazing accomplishment and some fantastic opportunities for you to turbocharge your swimming training.
Turbo-charge your swimming
Unbelievably, Peaty is unbeaten in his prime event for four years, and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be caught any time soon. The Uttoxeter-born Olympic champion is currently working towards his Project 56, to swim the 100m in 56 seconds, and his original time of exactly 57 seconds put him within a hair’s breadth of achieving his target. There were a few nervy moments as his world-record was nearly snatched away from him as an error with the timing configuration meant his official time was changed to 57.10s which fortunately left with three-hundredths of a second to spare!
