Adam Peaty was locked in and ready to roll prior to this race. The undisputed champion looked supremely confident as he rocketed out to a 26.50 first 50 meters -- 0.1 of a second under his own world-record pace. Unlike any breaststroker of this era, Peaty is able to maintain a quick yet efficient tempo for the entire 100 meters. Kevin Cordes of the United States held on to his second seed and secured the silver medal with a 58.79. In a tight battle for bronze, Kirill Prigoda of Russia out-touched Yasuhiro Koseki of Japan and Cody Miller of the United States 59.05 to 59.10 and 59.11, respectively.
