}} Adam Peaty (born 28 December 1994) is an English competitive swimmer and breaststroke specialist who has represented Great Britain at the FINA world championships and European championships, and England in the Commonwealth Games. Peaty is the 2015 world champion and the 2014 European and Commonwealth champion in 100 metre breaststroke, the 2015 World champion and 2014 European champion in 50 metre breaststroke, part of the Great Britain team that won the mixed medlay relay world title, and the world record holder as of 5 August 2015 in all three events. He is the first swimmer ever to win both sprint breaststroke events at the same World championships, and the most successful British swimmer in a single World Championships. Peaty came to prominence in 2014 when, representing England, he won two gold medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in the 100 metre breaststroke and the 4x100m medley relay events, as well as silver in the shorter 50 metre breaststroke. Weeks later he became the breakout star of the 2014 European Aquatics Championships, winning 4 gold medals for Great Britain and setting two world records. In the 2014 World Short Course Championships, he rounded off his year with three silver medals in 50 metre, 100 metre and 4 x 50 metre mixed relay. In 2015, his rise continued, breaking the world record for 100 metre breaststroke at the British Championships and World Trials by almost half a second, to become the first man under 58 seconds for the event, and qualifying for all three breaststroke events at the 2015 FINA World Aquatic Championships. At those championships, he twice broke the championship record in the 100 metres breaststroke to become a World Champion for the first time.〔(Peaty takes World Gold. )〕 As of 5 August 2015, Peaty holds the World Records for the 50 metres breast stroke completing the distance in 26.42 seconds, the 100 metres breast stroke with a time of 57.92 seconds and the 4 x 100 metre mixed medlay relay in 3:41.71. A previous 50 metre record of 26.62, since surpassed by Peaty, is as yet to be ratified by FINA because of administrative errors in standard post race testing, although it is generally recognised by statisticians.〔(Peaty bypasses FINA Farce, sets new WR. ) ''Swimvortex.com''〕 ==Personal history== Adam Peaty was born on 28 December 1994 in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Adam Peaty )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adam Peaty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
