Adam Peaty has quickly placed his name on the ballot for "The Greatest Breaststroker of All Time." Although Peaty isn't as strong as others in the 200m distance of the stroke, his unbelievable dominance in the 100 distance is impossible to ignore. Peaty broke the 100m breaststroke world record twice at the Rio Games, capped by his final swim of 57.13 to win his first Olympic gold on Aug. 7.
