GWANGJU, South Korea: Hungarian teenager Kristof Milak shattered Michael Phelps' 10-year-old world record in the 200 metres butterfly on Wednesday while Adam Peaty sewed up a third straight breaststroke double with victory in the 50 metres at the world championships.
"Got the triple double which is a massive thing for me," said Peaty."It’s what I came here to do. The 56 happened so it’s just everything complete really." His presence has upset fans and fellow athletes alike, with two swimmers, Australian Mack Horton and Briton Duncan Scott, showing their displeasure in the most public way possible.
Paltrinieri said he took no additional pleasure in beating Sun, who also served a doping suspension in 2014.
