Peaty already topped the podium in the 100m on Monday and claimed his third 50-100m double at the World Championships with a time of 26.06. He finished 0.6 of a second faster than Felipe Lima, while Joao Gomes took bronze in 26.69. The 24-year-old will have been hoping to beat his own 50m world record of 25.95secs - which he set in 2017 in Budapest - but fell just short. Peaty, who won Great Britain’s first gold medal at the Rio Olympics three years ago, is unbeaten in five years at the breaststroke.
