Kolesnikov breaks 50m back world record, Peaty defends Euro title

The Hindu  

Russia's Kliment Kolesnikov broke his own 50m backstroke world record at the European swimming championships on Tuesday as Britain's Olympic champion Adam Peaty took his fourth successive 100m breaststroke gold. World record holder Peaty won his event with a time of 57.66, 0.44 quicker than Dutch silver medallist Arno Kamminga - the only other man to have swum the 100m breaststroke in under 58 seconds. It's just a testament to how powerful my stroke is feeling, so come the Olympics, it's hopefully going to be a good show," added the reigning world and Olympic champion. Two golds were awarded in the women's 100m butterfly after a tie between France's Marie Wattel and Greece's Anna Ntountounaki in the absence of Sweden's injured Olympic champion Sarah Sjostrom.
