Peaty's 100m breastroke record adjusted

Briton Adam Peaty's new 100m breaststoke world record time of 57 seconds flat will now go into the record books as 57.10 after a problem with the clock.

Briton Adam Peaty's new 100-metres breaststroke world record has been adjusted due to a problem with the timing mechanism, the European Swimming Federation has announced.

Peaty recorded a time of exactly 57 seconds on Saturday night but it will now go into the record books as 57.10 after organisers revealed a "configuration delay" of 0.10 seconds affecting the first nine races of the session.

"The LEN ... have, with the benefit of the necessary technical analysis, revised all recorded times for the first nine races during that session," the federation said in a statement.
