Katinka Hosszu of Hungary also added more gold to her collection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Peaty claimed the title in 57.14 seconds, a night after he became the first man to break 57 seconds in the semifinals. The British swimmer was under his own world-record pace at the turn before coming home a full body-length in front and 1.32 seconds ahead of teammate James Wilby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In the semis, Peaty was timed in 56.88. He\u2019s also the current Olympic champion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThat\u2019ll fuel me for next year because I know how bad I want to clear 56 even faster now,\u201d Peaty said. \u201cI know exactly how to do it but I\u2019ve obviously run out of opportunities here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Wilby touched in 58.46. Yan Zibei of China was third in 58.63.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hosszu extended her dominance in the women\u2019s 200 individual medley, claiming her record fourth title. That\u2019s the same number of times she\u2019s won the 400 IM.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt might seem just another gold medal but for me it\u2019s really special to be here and be able to win,\u201d said Hosszu, who last year filed for divorce from her husband and training partner. \u201cIt\u2019s been a tough journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Nicknamed \u201cThe Iron Lady\u201d for her relentless workload, Hosszu won in 2 minutes, 7.53 seconds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Ye Shiwen of China finished 1.07 seconds back in second. Sydney Pickrem of Canada took bronze.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Canada\u2019s Margaret MacNeil, a 19-year-old competing in her biggest international meet so far, upset Sarah Sjostrom in the women\u2019s 100 butterfly, an event the Swede had won four times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI was really hoping just to get on the podium,\u201d MacNeil said, \u201cbut getting a gold is just unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sjostrom took it out strong, dipping under her world-record pace on the first lap, while MacNeil was in fifth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But MacNeil roared back with the fastest closing lap \u2014 29.06 \u2014 of the eight-woman final and touched first in 55.83.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sjostrom was second in 56.22, denied a record fifth title in the 100 fly. Emma McKeon of Australia earned bronze in 56.61.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cObviously, I would be more happy with a gold medal,\u201d Sjostrom said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After receiving their medals, the three women gathered on the top podium spot and raised their palms to the crowd, displaying a message to ailing 19-year-old Japanese swimmer Rikako Ikee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cRikako never give up\u201d it read, with hearts decorating their palms. Sjostrom came up with the idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Ikee announced in February that she has leukemia. She was the world junior champion in the 100 fly and had the fastest time in the world last year. She is aiming to return in time to compete in the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe\u2019re hoping this will show that we\u2019re supporting her and we\u2019re here if she needs anything,\u201d said MacNeil, who swims at Michigan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The United States won its first-ever gold in the men\u2019s 50 fly, a non-Olympic event. Caeleb Dressel\u2019s time of 22.35 set a championship record and earned him a ninth career world title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Two years ago, Dressel won seven golds to equal Michael Phelps\u2019 record at a single worlds. The 50 fly was the only event Dressel failed to win in Budapest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Dressel tied a bandana belonging to a former high school mentor who died on the ribbon that was placed around his neck as a way to carry her memory with him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThat\u2019s faster than two years ago and a better place than two years ago,\u201d Dressel said. \u201cIt\u2019s good, good for Team USA and I\u2019m glad I can be a part of keeping that ball rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">China\u2019s Sun Yang was back in the pool for the 200 freestyle semifinals a night after winning the 400 free. He qualified second-fastest behind Clyde Lewis of Australia. The final is Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Earlier Monday, FINA\u2019s executive board met in Gwangju to discuss Mack Horton\u2019s podium protest against Sun and decided to send a warning letter to Swimming Australia and to Horton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWhile FINA respects the principle of freedom of speech, it has to be conducted in the right context,\u201d the board said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Horton refused to take his spot on the medals stand or shake Sun\u2019s hand after finishing second to the Chinese star in the 400 free. The Aussie swimmer is angry that Sun, who served a three-month doping suspension in 2014, is being allowed to compete in Gwangju before he faces a Court of Arbitration for Sport hearing in September that could potentially end his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After getting upset in the 400 freestyle on Sunday, Katie Ledecky\u2019s lone race was the morning preliminaries of the 1,500 freestyle. She breezed through the grueling race in 15 minutes, 48.90 seconds \u2014 2.69 seconds faster than second-fastest qualifier Simona Quadarella of Italy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">However, Ledecky withdrew from the 200-meter freestyle preliminaries and the 1,500-meter final Tuesday at the world swimming championships because of illness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Her coach Greg Meehan said doctors were assessing Ledecky, but had no official diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cShe woke up this morning and she\u2019s not feeling well at all,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m hopeful that we see her racing again this week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThis is brutal for her not to be competing,\u201d Meehan said, noting Ledecky\u2019s famous competitive nature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The eight-day meet ends Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/peaty-hosszu-extend-dominance-at-swim-worlds\/?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britain&#8217;s Adam Peaty holds up his gold medal after winning the men&#8217;s 100m breaststroke final at the World Swimming Championships in Gwangju, South Korea, Monday, July 22, 2019.
