Day 2 - Part1 Swimming: World Championships

You are nervous at every single race, it's whether you make the

switch to becoming champion in the arena. He's got that on the last

stroke, the world champion is Adam Peaty. This is utterly brilliant,

absolutely fantastic, Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold by an absolute

street. A wonderful world record, or might goodness. I have achieved my

lifetime goal but I want more. It's going to be a tough road, to keep

those medals coming in. Pushing harder and sweating more, there is

going to be a lot more pain but I think it's achievable. That is one

of my goals, to leave a good legacy back home.

That is the man you will see in action first denied here in

Budapest, fasten your seat belts because you could be in store for

something very special. Adam is the world and Olympic champion,

world-record holder and after his semifinals yesterday ahead of his

final tonight he seemed confident. Tonights, enjoyed the crowd, enjoy

what I'm doing, it's a bit weird now, two years ago I would have been

shaking in my boots in this arena but I have matured after Rio and

learned so much, this is my home. I love racing year. Tomorrow if the

crowd get behind me maybe we can get that special time. That confidence

is completely justified because it isn't even about the competition,

it's about the time. It is him against the clock tonight. He knows,

unless something, he falls off the block something and I know you want!

But he knows he has it in the bag, he has the gold medal and he is so

competitive that he will want to break his own world record. To him

it's just his personal best that he wants to break. In the semifinals we

saw there was not even anybody close to him. No, it's going to be him out

on his own at the front trying to break the world record, I don't

think he will do it tonight but the bottom line is the world record is

his best time and every time he stands on the block, all of us from

the age of ten until you retire you can go faster. I think at the moment

back to form, only just off his best time and look truly good in the

semifinal. Could Ross be on the scrap for third? I think so, I think

the American, he will probably take a head start because he has an

amazing start, but he will become second, and Ross will come third. I

think Ross is in a shout for third. For some people you could take some

of Adam's confidence as arrogance, it's a fine line but not with Adam

Peaty because he's confident but he's also very humble and talks

about leaving a legacy. He is an endearing character away from the

pool. Such a great role model, what's he's done for the sport is

huge. I think he has converted those who don't like swimming into liking

swimming just by watching him race. He is the showman, he loves it. And

tonight Cameron Van der Burgh is not in it so it will be an interesting

race. The big cheer for the world-record holder, the world

champion and Olympic champion. Let's hand you to the commentators.

COMMENTATOR: Adam Peaty in Len four, the European champion, world

champion, world-record holder, surrounded by Americans, Ross

Murdoch of Great Britain in lane one. This will be interesting,

interesting tactics, how does he approach it? The only way Adam Peaty

knows how, he's going to take it to them, go out hard on the first 50

and try to bring it back but there is two races here, it's Adam Peaty

versus the 57 Bali and the rest of the guys fighting for the minor

medals. -- the 57 barrier. Good clean start, decent start from

Adam Peaty, the defending world champion. He set the world-record

26.6 nine. The race has gone already, look at Adam Peaty, already

a class above and he's out 26.5, just off the individual world-record

but under the 100 metre. But he's not lost Cordes at this stage, it

could be about winning the gold and the world-record. He's starting to

power, look at him go away from the rest of, this is the greatest field

in the world, clear water between Adam Peaty and the rest of the

world, the world-record 57.1 three. Just outside but the margin of

victory was phenomenal. Adam Peaty is destroying the best in the world,

obliterated them. To win a 100 metre breaststroke by well over a second,

we have not heard about until he did at last year at the Olympics and

he's broken the championship record again. This guy already owns the top

ten times in the 100 metre breaststroke ever done and he's gone

57.4 again, different class. He was totally focused going into the race,

had a little bit taken note of him on the start but once he got off he

got on top of the guys. The first 50 as well, almost broke the

world-record for the 50 metres on his way out of the 100. Is there

nothing this guy can do? He is a beast. Bit of a dodgy finish, don't

think you'll be too happy with that but there is room for him to

improve. You can tell him! The second fastest 100 metre

breaststroke in history and Adam Peaty setting a new championship

record to win gold for Great Britain. What a fabulous swim it

was. Maybe a bit too quick then the first 50? I thought he was starting

to snatch when he came out of the turn but the strongest part of his

race has been 60-100 metres. He looks like a wrestler, so athletic.

It's one of the most athletic events you can do. He is on a different

planet. Look at those guns. We talked about him chasing his own

world record, just outside it, it's almost like we are a bit

disappointed. Which is crazy because he did amazing! It is a shame for

Ross to finish eighth as well. He wanted to break the 59 barrier but

he will be back later on. The 200 is his event. Adam was on his own, I

almost want someone to challenge him. Would you agree with the

commentators about his start, maybe could do with a bit of work and

maybe a dodgy finish for him? Bearing in mind he is still the

champion, but are a lot of things to work on? Of course any swimmer would

tell you that, even when you break records you get out and think you

can go faster. Little things you can improve on. The start has been the

weakest part of his race then he goes past people and keeps going.

Let's hear from Adam Peaty with Sharon. Congratulations, you just

asked me what time you went out in, 26.5 which is very quick. We have

done a lot of speed work, a couple of months after Rio, I thought it

would be hard to get back but I am happy to come here and attack my

title. Year after year. I was a bit longer to the wall but I am happy.

Was at the pace you planned to go out or did the excitement get to

you? I felt like a little boy. But world records are world records for

a reason. The performance at the Olympics was completely different to

that one. I was on target for it but just missed out, but we'll see what

get tomorrow. You have the top ten fastest times in the world in the

100 metres breaststroke which is insane. You're an amazing role

model, are you aware that pressure? Not really but I got a massive cheer

when I came out and that means something. Most of this crowded

Hungarians would means I have got a lot of support. I'm trying to give

it back home, get the young ones racing and teach them to have no

fear. You are our British Lion, your tattoo is very important, tell us

about it? I wanted something to be proud of after Rio, to remember how

I got there, I came from the bottom and got all the way to the top with

hard work and dedication and the unique relationship between myself

and Mell, if you are a kid watching this now, you can be at the Olympic

in four years, eight years' time, don't let anything stop you.

The language he uses is so brilliant, for the fans and

superstars coming through, attacking his title, dedication and

commitment, he is exciting all around. And that is something he and

Mell both work on, they are a great partnership together and I don't

think he would have achieved it without Mell, such a brilliant team.

From a British superstar to a Swedish one. Let's go through the

women's 100 metre fly final. COMMENTATOR: In the final of the

women's 100 metre butterfly and the defending champion is on fire

already. We saw Sjostrom last night lead of the Swedish relay and it was

something to behold. It was breathtaking, what we saw was this

young lady going faster than mark Spitz did in his Olympics, she is

swimming as fast as the men have in previous Olympics, it's insane. She

could well transfer that 100 metre freestyle 's speed into this, will

she break the world record? We are about to find out. The Olympics of

mass silver medallist in two. We were talking to one of her

coaches earlier and it doesn't necessarily mean you are going so

fast that it converts into butterfly but the first 25 metres of this

final of the women's 100 metres has been very good for Sjostrom. She is

so strong, the strength and power is great and her timing is first class

as well. She has the experience, she's been winning medals at world

level since she was 15, three tenths of a second under. She does not slow

down, I think this could be a world-record right here. Two in two

days for Sjostrom. It could be but one line-up has not been dropped

yet, but is now, when so fast in that first 50, the world-record...

Just outside the world-record. But it is gold again, successfully

defending the championship she won two years ago, Sjostrom gets the

gold medal. Great silver medal for Australia. And bronze to the USA. I

cannot believe Australia have got silver, she is a 200 freestyle by

rights but she's been dropping time all year but let's take a moment on

Sjostrom. The finish was poor, she could have had the world-record

without the finish, I think a coach will be kicking herself, you have to

get the skills right. But like Adam Peaty she's so far ahead of the rest

of the world, it has to be nice to turn up and now you will get the

gold medal and go again. Look at the power on her shoulders. Does not

just power it, she's got great technique as well. First-class

technician and if you have that in swimming it really is a strong

advantage over the rest of the field. Look at this finish, a bit

dirty. She is smiling, world champion, I think that is she was

going for, she went out very quickly, broke the world-record in

the 100 metres freestyle. Destroyed at last night, 51.71. Goodness

gracious me. She is now a world champion again on the 100 metres

fly. Sjostrom is a confident swimmer and with the first two days a

world-record in the 100 metres free and now the championship title in

the 100 metres fly, and there she is with the silver medallist. From Rio

in the 100 fly. Coming fourth in that race. By quite a way. The

margin of victory, almost three quarters of a stroke.

The breathing, there is loads of stuff she could do better. It is

almost as if you're going to write what not to do for the group, she

has done a lot of them there. Another gold for Sarah Sjostrom of

Sweden. Just outside her world record. But she takes the gold.

A Championship record and Commonwealth record in there. From

Emma? Exactly. Sarah was in great form in the relay, she got the world

record. A different stroke. If you come out and you are in good form,

how much confidence does it give you for the rest of the events? You know

you are on form. When you come to a competition, through the air you go

through low points in hard training, then you come in and you have the

question in your head, can I do it again, will I be on form? Will I be

on form at 6.10 on the evening. But she doesn't have a low point, she is

great all year. We have talked about the Changing of the Guard, Michael

Phelps is gone. A real opportunity for some girl power to display

itself. We got that, you have got people like Sarah, you have Saudi

people that are cleaning up. We knew that Sarah was going to win. It was

whether she was going to get the world record. She has the top ten

times in history, like Adam has. That is her fourth world title in

that event. There are so many amazing results coming from Sarah.

The next event is the semifinals of the 100 metre backstroke. Normally

we would see Chris Walker in this, we thought he was going to do it,

but he isn't. I don't know, he's got the relays and the mixed medley

coming up. On paper, he would have the third fastest time in the world

this year. He had a long year last year, like everybody else. I don't

know. He is here. Is he sick? Bill Furniss said that he had a cold.

Obviously he's wanting to rest. He was on the entry list, but not the

start list. We have been told he has had a cold. You're going to rest him

for the relays. Is that a red flag? I have a chest

infection before Beijing and came out with two gold medals! It's one

of these weird situations. You train all year, the major meeting comes

up, it's the high point. However you are, especially with a cold... But

you do need to rest, the relay have a massive opportunity to get the

huddle. He has to arrested he is ill. We might see later in the week.

Let's see what happens in the 100 metre breaststroke.

A fascinating first semifinal. This is the backstroke. You have the

Olympic champion from 2012 in London, Ryan Murphy, the Rio Olympic

champion, in five. So, two Olympic champions in four

and five. Matt Grevers, delighted to see him back in the mix. But Ryan

Murphy, an interesting year he has had? Last year, he was a lecturer in

Rio. He blasted off to a world record in the medley. -- he was

electric. It often happens when you win the gold medals, there are other

things to do. He's going to have to watch out for this fellow, Matt

Grevers, six foot six, a beast. The poor guy missed out and didn't

qualify for America as the reigning Olympic champion for Rio and he had

to sit at home and watch them do their stuff. I think that has really

motivated him. He really does look ready to go. These Olympic

champions, past and present, the Americans in the middle, that is

where the battle is gone to be. Various Grevers, went to the

University of Arizona. And there is the current Olympic champion, Ryan

Murphy. He had a very good American college season. He won the

Championship, and that is not easy to do. It is a really quick heat.

That's true, but the thing is, you can spend half your time on the

water, you are half submarine. There is only a little bit of swimming on

the top. This is where the real action is. Long-haul swimming. Lane

seven, his foot rest, they have little footrests that they can

dangle off the box. His has gone badly wrong. I would imagine there

is going to be a little bit of a pause. You can see the guy in the

white hat. He has just pulled his footrest and it has unravelled. Do

you think there is an opportunity for the Pole to play silly games and

put them off? Well, the only problem is that his nerves are going to be

going 100 miles an hour. The technical guy looking at this, he

has taken the footrest away. He has walked quite slowly across the pool.

He is getting a spare one and is now walking quite slowly... You can't

quite see him, the white shirt on the left. You can't quite see him.

Walking quite nice and slowly back. The fastest men in the backstroke in

the world are in the pool waiting. Come on, mate! It's like he's gone

for the paper on Sunday morning! Come on, fella. How are your nerves

in Lane seven, Polewka, is he happy that he is making everybody wait?

So, the first semifinal of the 100 metres backstroke. Some drama in

Lane seven. Very quick reaction. The current

Olympic champion, Murphy, in Lane five. There is nobody better in the

world than the Americans, showing how it should be done. What they

want to be doing in the first 50 is building speed. On the second 50,

that is where they have to maintain it. Ryan Murphy has had a shocking

season all year. But the champion is showing his medal. He is leading at

the half way stage. This could be where Matt Grevers tries to get over

the top of Murphy. Murphy looks a little bit low in the water. He is

working well. Spinning a little better. Grevers is starting to come

back. Very even. Two one hundredths of a second splitting them. They are

the only two swimmers underneath 53 seconds. Actually, winning it by

nearly three quarters of a second. Not as fast as I expected. Certainly

the third, fourth, fifth, sixth positions, pretty slow. I don't

think that is going to scare the people going in the second heat,

particularly Xu. But the Americans have more in the tank. They have the

experience of being Olympic champions. I think the Chinese are

going to be all over it. The second semifinal, watching that first one,

you've got to think you got a cracking chance of making the final.

It is all on times. Yesterday, we saw six from one of the semifinals

may get and only two from the other. Two Olympic champions representing

the USA. Murphy wins the first semifinal of the men's 100 metres

backstroke. Just behind him, Grevers. The rest of them, quite a

long way behind. The second semifinal coming up. If

you are Mitch Larkin, are you looking at it closely or just

thinking about your own race? Personally, I don't know, I would.

As those guys have just said, that one was a little bit slower than

expected. You kind of know what Reading room you have got, where you

have to come and how much pressure you have to put yourself.

Beforehand, before you come out to poolside, there is a TV. You are not

watching EastEnders! You use to talk about not wanting to look at what is

going on? I just used to talk to people. Then you come out here,

where you get nervous, I got chatty. If I chatted to people and they have

their head down, they didn't like it. So I would go, what is happening

with the weather in Hungary right now? Not that casual, obviously.

They would watch the heat before, and it's not very fast. Senedd Mitch

Larkin would have been pleased, it wasn't that quick. And Xu from

China, the fastest time this year, he will be watching as well. Stop

it, you, Miss chief! Mitch Larkin, the defending world

champion goes in lane six. Xu of China just missed the world record

by 100th of a second. Xu China, we watched his heat this

morning. If you wanted to watch a perfect backstroke, this guy looks

wonderful. He has excellent rotation in the water. Any kid that want to

see a great backstroke, this fellow can really teach you. He has great

rotation, gives great catch under the water. It's very different from

the Americans we have seen. The Americans are flatter in the water.

They really powered their way around the pool. I love watching these

guys. And Irie, next to him, they have the most beautiful strokes. It

may look like it has finesse, but they are absolutely so efficient in

the water. Earlier this year, in April, he was only just outside of

Ryan Murphy's world records. I think the world record is under threat. It

feels like it is moving on again. Watch out for the world record in

the semifinal, they are often broken in the semifinals when the pressure

is a little bit less. This semifinal of the backstroke, the first one was

not particularly fast. All of these guys have to believe they can make

the final. Larkin insects, for Australia. -- in lane six. Xu of

China in four, Irie of Japan in three. What a fantastic start by

Katrina. Stop the race now, he has won by a mile. Absolutely fantastic.

He might not end up winning by that margin, but he is putting out a

clear statement of intent. 51.85 is the world record and he looks to be

on it at the moment. He is under it by a tenth of a second. He needs a

good wall work. It is so beautiful. Still head position, great rotation

around his body. This is the most efficient backstroke you will ever

see. Absolutely beautiful. The nest of the field may be coming back at

him. Doesn't look like he is working as hard over the water, but he is so

efficient. The world record is 58 -- 51.85. Larkin is only forth but he

will make it through to the final, the first semifinal was not

particularly quick. Well, there is Tarasevich. He thinks he has made

the final, and I think he has. What a beautiful stroke. The attack down

the first 50, I wonder if he is practising for the final. I think

you have got that absolutely right. He has one of the best starts we

have seen on the backstroke all week. I think he went to 60 metres,

he got to the wall and did a fantastic turn. He then started to

shut it down. He allowed the rest of the field to come back to him. Why

would he show his hand tonight? He can get out there tomorrow night,

I'm very confident he can win the gold medal. The question is, will he

break the world record? It is a beautiful stroke, isn't it? Xu of

China, winning the second semifinal. Irie was second. Tarasevich was

third. Larkin down in fourth, a little bit of a surprise for me. I

learned's Shane Ryan -- Ireland's Shane Ryan may be a little bit

unlucky. A little slower than expected, but Xu was the fastest. He

is going to have two Americans alongside him. What a final that is

going to be tomorrow night. Had Chris Walker-Hebborn been in

that how would he had feared? -- I would he have got on? He has always

pulled out of the bag for the relay, I would love to see him get back to

his best, he just needs a bit more confidence, to believe in himself

and I think, I think he is more than capable of getting into that final.

2014 he won the Commonwealth Games and Europeans back to back, he was

on form and improving. But you have to be at your best at the right time

and he just having an off year. Does that make you excited or nervous for

the relay? Very excited because I think it will be between us the

Americans and the Chinese and the Americans are not looking quite. --

not looking quick. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor has pulled out to

concentrate on the 200 metres IAM. COMMENTATOR: This is going to be a

quick semifinal. Five of the fastest eight in the world this year in this

semifinal. Efimova is number one so far. Meli is third. Tactics for

Efimova, she swims in a very strange way. She's been a world champion

over 200 metres, the world-record holder, we know she's got a strong

back end, lots of stamina but to me she might as well start in the

water, is absolutely atrocious at diving and I cannot believe her

coach has not sorted that out. In her heat this morning she was last

at the 50 but then came through like a freight train. This is almost

speed versus stamina. It's going to be a very interesting final tomorrow

night. USA versus Russia, some mean word said between them at the

Olympic Games in Rio. Efimova in four, back after two drugs bans.

The defending world champion Efimova of Russia in lane four. How much has

she lost the race in that pink hat? Almost half a metre down, I cannot

believe they don't work on it. It's so long and efficient, this is where

Efimova starts to get into the race. Skimming over the water. It is

Meili, the Olympic bronze medallist who is taking it out but just watch

Efimova turn on the afterburners and really start to bring it home. This

is the real key to her race. Efimova has been out to Arizona to work on

catapult starting. Now she's starting to wind it up, brilliant

200 metres breast wrote as well as the 100, Efimova in the pink, this

is pretty frightening for the rest of the world, let's keep an eye on

the world-record. One 100th of a second outside the world-record and

she turned half a second behind it. Goodness gracious me. What a

marvellous second 50 metres. She is going out 30.6, it's not fast at all

when you are talking about threatening the world-record but

she's coming home ends 33 seconds. That's just an of in women's

swimming. Exceedingly fast. Not only is she powerful she is graceful, she

has got great technique. She is like a dolphin. It is amazing, the pink

suit in the centre, watching her 200 will be completely different, the

longest, most efficient stroke you can imagine. But look at that. I

tell you what, if I was Lily King I would be quaking in my boots because

that is exceedingly fast. One 100th of a second outside the

world-record, did not expect that. One of the more controversial stars

of the sport, missing out on the world-record by one 100th of a

second, interesting to see you guys reaction after she has been swimming

because she has failed drugs test in the past, when she does something

like that... I am glad she did not break it! Let's move on, semifinal

number two. We kind of claim route Adam Peaty has just done his thing,

will she adopt some of that winning mentality? I think so, she sees him

on form and extremely confident and that can be infectious, being around

somebody like that. If you hang around the best in the world, I am

not saying she is the best in the world yet but it does rub off a

little bit. See Vasey looking to get herself a place

in the final. Over to our commentators.

The Lithuanian champion, trained down in Plymouth for a long time,

she has actually gone back to the Winnie to train, she looks in great

shape. -- back to Lithuania. She has to get faster through the rounds.

There is the Olympic champion King, I wonder if she had been watching

that TV in the ready room, what is she thinking to herself? If I saw

people going really really strongly you know you have to pull it out of

the bag. King actually beat Efimova by over

half a second in the Olympic final. See Lavezzi of Great Britain in

seven. -- Vasey of Great Britain in seven. She is a massive talent, in

the semifinal of the World Championships and has a chance of

making the final in her debut appearance.

Second semifinal, women's 100 metre breaststroke, Olympic champion from

2016 King in lane for, Olympic champion 2012 Meiluttyte in lane

five. Very nearly saw a world record in the first semifinal. 64.3 six.

The world-record is held by Meilutyte, 64 .35, don't think they

will go that quick but we thought that in the first semifinal. Lily

King has never been shy of getting paw criticising Efimova. She is

under world-record time, but Meilutyte says no, trying to get

right back on the shoulders of King, what a race this is. It's all me a

semifinal, in theory all you have to do is make the final and it's a

great head-to-head, and keep an eye out on Vasey in lane seven, going

very well indeed, if she can get the touch that would be great, just off

world-record place Vasey 66.8 and I think she might

make the final, we will have to check but it looks very good indeed,

great swimming. Cannot ask any more than that from Vasey, we will have

to wait until the clock revolves to see if she's in but a word on King,

they are putting the world-record under threat and this is the best of

the e-mails are breaststroke swimming we have seen for years.

What a race we've got in store tomorrow night. Very quick indeed,

the turning from Meilutyte was excellent. Lily King as expected,

the Olympic champion from Rio, a little bit nonplussed, just misses

the world-record and makes the semifinal second fastest. Did Vasey

make the final? It's going to be tight but I think she might well

have done. She has done, excellent! Sarah Vasey has made the final and

you cannot ask any more, her first World Championships, we can hear

from her now with Sharon. Many congratulations, you must be

pleased. Over the moon, just off my best time and I am pleased to make

the final. You must be inspired when you see Adam swimming well before

you? Absolutely, the atmosphere is amazing, I was getting so nervous

but it's so motivating as well. You have been swimming international for

a while but not that this sort of level, it's a great opportunity to

make your mark. Absolutely, I just said I would take the trend as it

comes and enjoy it, I was happy to make this MA and going into it I had

nothing to lose so I went for it and I'm glad I did. We'll see you

tomorrow then. Thank you very much! Not just making your mark, we were

talking yesterday about how it's important for all the swimmers to

learn the process, get comfortable and eradicate the nerves she talked

about. It's a stepping stone before the Olympics in Tokyo and what a

great debut! What a great debut and what a great night as she can watch

her team-mate Adam Peaty collect his medal, the medal ceremony of the

men's 100 metre breaststroke. COMMENTATOR: What a fantastic couple

of years he has had, Adam Peaty of Great Britain absolutely destroyed

the best breaststroke is in the world, 2014, 2015, 2016, just

winning the World Championship title again. He does not like the word

defend. He talks about attacking all the time and that's the mentality he

and his coach Nell Marshall seemed to have. The guide is not lose, he

does not know how to lose. It's been three years since he lost an

individual race. What a great guy to have in your team.

The smile on the face of the Russian picking up the bronze medal quite

clear because he qualified eighth fastest for the final. Brilliant

swimming from him. The civil the American went very quick then

the first 50 and I think he paid a little bit for that speed. 58.7, he

went 50.6 in the semi. It was all about Adam Peaty. The margin of

victory, Clearwater on a sprint, how can that happen? To win the race by

almost 1.4 seconds is unheard of but he's doing it over and over again

and it's hard to believe he is threatening 56 seconds, the rest of

the world cannot even get under 58.5. He now has the top ten times

in history in the men's 100 metre breaststroke, once again the world

champion. A new championship record, 57.47, the second fastest time in

history, only beaten by the time he got the world-record and the gold

medal in Rio last year. World champion 2017 Adam Peaty of Great

Britain. Phenomenal. Very proud people in the crowd as

well. He said there would be no defence,

it would only the attack. Great Britain's Adam Peaty wins gold again

in the hundred metre breaststroke at the World Championships. Olympic

champion, European champion, Commonwealth champion. Brilliant

swimming. What can Ben do to make us feel

proud? He goes in the 50 metre fly final. And James Guy is on course to

defend his title in the semifinals. She is an Olympic silver medallist,

tonight we will see Siobhan-Marie O'Connor battle the huge home

favourite in the 200 IM. We have seen one Briton on the podium

already, and there are more chances for medals including this young man,

Mr Ben Proud. I worked four years to get a

fraction of a second off my time. In terms of confidence, it's been a

massive change. Thinking back to Barcelona, it seems like a different

world. I feel so much better going into Budapest knowing that I've got

so much experience under my belt. I feel good, and I feel like the last

four years have been the perfect setup. Realistically, there are

probably eight guys that can do a time that will win the World

Championships. The only thing I can do is try to get that time, and

control myself in the final. If I can do that, the medals will come.

After his semifinal, he was very honest, he said there are things

that I could have done better. That seemed to give him a lot of

confidence. He was sure he could correct those. What does he need to

do to get himself on the podium, other than swim fastest? Get

everything right. Over such a short distance, short space of time, you

have to get every element as right as it can be. You notice in the

semifinals that he had a good chunk taken of him at the start. I know

who was slightly disappointed with the start. On the finish, he needs

to nail the finish as well. The start of the semifinal, we didn't

see all of it. He was in lane five, Dressel was in lane four. It was

just the transition from the block, the spring you get, entering in the

mostly my position possible and then they do about nine kicks below the

surface. Lets give him the credit he deserves, Dressel must be shaken by

Ben. In the training pool he has been trying to distract him? I was

talking to his coach James Gibson. Apparently Dressel came up and was

looking for Ben for 15 minutes and came up and said, have you seen

John? A random thing to ask. He was obviously trying to wind him up and

let him know he was there. I think he is still looking for John! I

think John is probably looking for the archive. The last person to win

in this event was you. We wanted to play at and embarrass you, but we

can't find it, it is so far down in a basement! It would be in black and

white! Lets see what Ben Proud can do.

Olympic champion Joseph Schooling in lane 2. Ben Proud of Great Britain

in sixth. Dressel of the USA is the big favourite for me. He goes in

four. The lane assignments in the final of the 50 metres butterfly,

very interesting indeed. Schooling in two, Dressel in four, Ben Proud

in six. Early and 50 metres butterfly swimmers and also very

good in the 100s. But they are really sprint specialists between

them. Very tough to call. But the start of Dressel is absolutely

phenomenal. The best starter in the world. He will be leading, at 50

litres. -- at 15 metres. But there will be some guys that are quicker.

I think it includes Ben Proud. Can he get out in the first 15 or 20

metres and be up with these guys? We know he's going to be strong at the

end of the race. He is actually the fastest 50 metre freestyle. We know

he has it in his locker. The fastest human being in water in the world

this year, Ben Proud of Great Britain. That is the 50 freestyle.

This is the 50 metres butterfly final. Schooling in two, talk about

breaking Michael Phelps 100 record, that would be interesting.

Ben Proud, three from the bottom. He does not breed down the 50 metres

butterfly. A decent start. A very good start for Ben Proud. Dressel in

the centre of the USA, also going well between them is Govorov from

Ukraine. Ben Proud in about first position, but it is very tight. Can

he get the touch? Has he got the finish? I think he has! He has won

the World Championships 50 metres butterfly! Ben Proud is world

champion on the 50 fly! Proud winning gold, he did not breed once.

He had a fabulous start. He wound it up. He did not breathe, he hit the

finish perfectly. He is the world champion. Two world champions in

about 30 minutes. I never thought Ben Proud would be able to battle it

out. He has delivered when it counts. Nicholas Santos has been

faster this year, James Gibson, the coach, going absolutely crazy behind

us. Congratulations to him. What did it for him was the start. He was up

and at them. We said, if he is there at 20 metres, he is one of the

fastest swimmers. He had the twitch. Govorov, the specialist, next to

him, could not haul him in. This was the vital bit. It is all about

measuring your finish. Look at that. He gets fingertips to the wall

first. Guess what? Your reward is a World Championship gold medal. Well

done, Ben Proud. Isn't it great? You are never out of breath. He won by a

mile, four one hundredths of a second. Ben Proud, world champion on

the 50 metres butterfly. Absolutely brilliant.

Huge congratulations to Ben Proud. Market getting a bit emotional. How

proud I do? Sorry to use that word, proud, how proud you to see that, as

a character he is a great young man? When he got into the lane he didn't

really know what to do. He's not got arrogance. He has said in some of

his interviews that there wasn't that belief. He started believing,

as much as three years ago, when he burst onto the scene. Really, I he

has grown in confidence. James Gibson is looking after him at the

moment. We have seen his celebrations. He was way more

ecstatic than Ben. But he is such a lovely lad, very humble. Let's hear

from Ben, with Sharon now. I couldn't be more pleased for you.

You said if you got the start right, it is your race and you were

absolutely on the ball? I don't really know what to say! I'm on the

verge of tears. It has been a dream since I was six years old. It's hard

to put into words. What was going on in the Green room before? There was

a lot of needle, eyeing each other up, or you are keeping the towel

over your head and keeping your eye on your own It's so funny in there.

Everybody is really friendly. Yesterday I was stressed out. I have

managed to be more calm, listening to music. I wasn't thinking about

the race at all. I thought about winning, it has been my mind since

last night. I just went in and thought, maybe a medal would be

nice. You never quite know what is going to happen when you change over

teen, the go to a new coach and country. It worked well for you?

Yes, the work that James has done this year, after the four years I

had with John, really come together. James has really helped. I'm not the

most confident guy, or I haven't been in the past. Just learning how

to put the race together, switching off my mind before going into the

race. As soon as I got to the block, it was just me and my race, and I

did it. And we get to watch the Union Jack going up for the second

time. Congratulations, I am really pleased for you.

Huge congratulations, world champion Ben Proud. He certainly sacrificed a

lot, moved around the globe, currently in Turkey. What does the

future hold for this baby faced assassin? When he gets everything

right, he is one of the best in the world. He is the best in the world!

But his fly kick is unbelievable, the way he stays flat across the

water, like a pond skater, when he gets it right. We will talk about

him loads more, but let's look at the other Brits in action, the

women. Go 100-metre backstroke semifinal. There are Brits in both

of these. The two British entrants are in two

and six. Georgia Davies and Kathleen Dawson. Both of the British women

have a great chance of making this final. There was some good swimming

in the heats. Seebohm looking good with that yellow hat. Looking really

good. She would not have been happy last year, missing out on the medals

at the Olympic Games. I have my eyes on lane two, Georgia Davies, really

keen to see her do well here. But it is all Seebohm in the middle of the

pool. Smoliga of America right next to her. Kathleen looking pretty good

just to the left of that. Come on, Kathleen, get through. Both British

women looking good here. It looks like it is going to be Emily Seebohm

winning this. It is not that quick. Look at the British women, very good

indeed. So, Kathleen Dawson in third, Georgia Davies in fourth. But

Emily Seebohm, well, and 59 seconds. She will certainly get through to

the final. Smoliga second for the USA. It's going be a really tight

race to get through this final. The second semi is really quick. I think

more than four have a chance of going sub 60. This morning, there

were five girls under one minute. We've got to be careful. Georgia

Davies could be right on the cusp. It just depends how they go. Great

to see Kathleen Dawson, training with Ben Hickson at the University

of Stirling, doing a great time, getting under the minute barrier.

She missed out on the Olympics last year, she is going to relish the

World Championship final tomorrow. I think she has probably done enough.

Dawson looks good. 59.8. We're going to have to wait for the second

semifinal, very close. But Seebohm winning it.

Fingers crossed that the British girls can book a place in the

semifinal. -- in the final. What did you make of that? Both solid. They

both moved on from the heats this morning. Kathleen is 0.2 from her

PB, she probably wants to try and break it tomorrow. Georgia has been

half a second quicker, I think she would have wanted to pose a faster

marker. She trains that way, Ben Proud does. She probably saw her

team-mate, been buzzing, and got hyped up, she would want to put in a

better performance, a solid one, enough to be more confident that she

will make that final. We were keeping our eyes peeled to see if

Ben was going to stick around to see how his team mate got on. I think

you didn't know what to do with himself? No, I think it that whole

thing about belief. Until you do it, you don't really get it. I think

seeing him grow, every time he gets to the block, being around James and

some of the top swimmers, it rubs off on you and you become more

relaxed. You start believing, actually, I belong here and can beat

other people. When you don't race the Americans very often, you think

you are up against the Americans, you don't come up against the very

often. Now he can take it to them. I think Dressle will wish he had found

John Elliott. He has got the confidence, the medal

and the title and no one can take it away from him, let's see if the

British girls can get themselves into the final, here is the second

semifinal. Over two commentators. The Canadian only just missed

breaking Great Britain's world-record, set back in 2009. I

wonder if the world-record is going to go, they have been queueing up,

the dam is ready to burst. It's been great to watch Masse in the cold

room, she was laughing and giggling to herself, having a joke with Emily

Seaborn and when you are relaxed you might be able to swim faster. Third

last year at the Olympic Games. She has to be the hot favourite year for

the World Championship title. If she can break the world record that

would be something. I was talking to the Canadian coaches and they were

looking forward to this. Second sign a

the world number one Masse swam 58.21 earlier this year, 58.12 is

the world-record. Going pretty well in the centre, black suit, white

hat, right on world-record pace. She really is getting good turnover,

great efficiency as well. Baker, Alan Thicke silver medallist, not

giving it all her own way, a tenth of a second under world-record pace

at this stage and the 21-year-old Canadian is looking exceptional.

When the world-record was broken in 2009 she came back extremely fast,

Masse has work to do to break it. It's going to be close, the

world-record survives by 61 hundredths of a second and that is

the second fastest time in history. Masse of Canada, what a great second

50 it was. Amazing. If Gemma was watching she was hiding behind a

cushion because that world-record was under threat but how smooth did

that work? She really is blowing, she gave it absolutely everything.

Fastest qualifier, must be about six or seven tenths of a second. Great

shots showing us how efficient she is. Streamline under the water, got

to get end, good finish, missed out by hundredths of a second, what a

race that will be tomorrow night and they will have another go at taking

it down. Demonstrating her finish. Not quite sure what she's doing!

It's the face of the second fastest backstroke swimmer in history. The

world-record survives, maybe only just another day, will it go

tomorrow? The good news for Great Britain is I

think at least Dawson has made the final. I'm not sure if Georgia

Davies has. Kathleen Dawson has, that is absolutely brilliant.

Wonderful stuff. The 19-year-old from Stirling.

We will see Kathleen Dawson tomorrow night in the final join us if you

can, thanks to tonight Great Britain can boast two world champions, Adam

Peaty and Ben Proud. This was your event, you know how hard it is, what

it takes to take the title, what did he do that was so good tonight?

Concentrated on his own race. He said he was more relaxed beforehand,

it is what you trained to do, you train, when you walk out, average

talking about being in the zone, in the moment. You've done it so many

times before you are not even thinking and it makes you so much

more relaxed. He just did his own race, with long distance races you

can see where people are and use it as a marker but Ben Proud, great

start, said he had to get the start right, he's one of the best starters

in the world. Has his head down all the way, not looking at anyone else

whatsoever, it's just him, the water and the wall. If you are not looking

at anyone then you don't know where you are right? Could have been

anywhere, first or fifth. It was rushed, but Ben was perfect. That

explains his reaction, being a bit surprised. It was really cute, he

did not know what to do, he is not arrogant at all, we always said he

needed more confidence. He is looking around, thinking mum, dad,

what is going wrong? Acute seems like the wrong word, when you look

at his physique, how much effort does it take to get a body like

that? A lot of training and gym work. Talking to his coach who used

to be head of the sprint programme in the UK is note out in Turkey, but

I was talking to him about Ben he said he's not the most talented

summer in the world but we are making the best of what he has got.

He's great that we will make him unreal. We have already seen two

Britain's top the podium tonight and we have got another chance,

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor in the final of the 200-metre individual medley.

Asked to chase down a huge home favourite.

My break after Rio was lovely, I had a lovely time but then you lose a

lot of momentum when you take a break and I forgot how hard a week

of training is on your body. But once I did I started to enjoy it

again. 2015 the World Championships I did not raise my own race at all.

I tried to stick with Katinka as much as I could and it is when she

broke the world-record. At a metres I was under the world-record pace

and that is not how I needed to swim it. You need to focus on how it is

best for you. My target for Budapest is to back up what I did last year

and get on the podium. It will be another great chance to race Katinka

, I know how to race, how it suits me and I pushed pretty close in Rio

and gave me the confidence but you always have the doubts in your head

of can I do it on the big stage and deliver when the pressure is on? But

having performed like I did in Rio it's given me more confidence than

ever. I have realised I can do it when the pressure is on and each

race I do I'll hopefully get closer and closer and closer so we will

see. The 200-metre individual medley

coming up featuring Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and the roof will be off

because Katinka Hosszu is in it, huge home favourite, massive

superstar here in Hungary. But we are very proud of Siobhan-Marie

O'Connor, a real character who has fought a lot in terms of personal

health, what you make of her chances tonight given the year she has had?

She had a longer break than everyone else and she admits that but she

such a racer, she loves it, fantastic skills, one of the best

starts in the world. In her heats she looked really relaxed, last

night in the semifinal it looked a little bit harder. She has pulled

out of the 100-metre breast Rope tonight to give it everything she's

got because she wants the medal. Hopefully she will be buzzing

watching the Ben and add and it will give her confidence.

Lots of girl power in action tonight, we are hoping Siobhan can

do the job, got the Olympic medal, silver, in Rio, can she do it

tonight? Let's see. But let's talk about James Guy, he's a friend of

the show and a real character, the defending 200 freestyle world

champion, let's hear from him ahead of his event. I don't have much

pressure on me at this one. In that aspect it's about getting into my

PB's again because then I will be a medal contender. After the Olympics

everything dies down a little and it gets quieter so now is my chance to

do what I do and enjoy the sport again and that's what I'm doing. I

am happy, I want to go fast and I know I can. There are medal options

there. I feel like the old James Guy again, a storm is coming. A storm is

coming, it was more of the drizzly midweek afternoon in his 400 bless

him. I thought you meant this afternoon, because it was. That was

a storm, James Guy however, I think he would have been disappointed with

his time in the 400? I don't think it is his best event. He did so well

in the 100-metre butterfly, his 200 metres I think personally is his

better event and it's the one he likes, even Bill Furnace said that

last night, 400 is not his main focus. I think James, he rooms with

Adam, they have such a great relationship. In Rio he just got

better throughout the week and I think James is one of those swim

into the meet guys. We saw it at the Europeans a couple of years ago, not

a great start then he came back and pushed everybody. I think he will do

it again. The 400 metres looked very relaxed and in control at the start

but 200 metres and 400 metres are completely different events and he's

focusing more on the 200. I expect to see him up there. You will make

the final, he wants to show the others he has form. I think being

the reigning champion will not want to let his opponents have it too

easy. Duncan Scott also in this one who has been in great form, exciting

prospect based on what he's done so far this year.

The top 16 very, very close indeed after the heat this morning. 200

metres freestyle, only 1.6 seconds dividing the whole field. It's going

to be a wagon race, it could be anybody's in terms of getting in but

cannot see the likes of James Guy, Duncan Scott, you would hope those

guys definitely get through. Good to see this year that the Brits, third

and fourth fastest times in the world, they do have some strength

here. Looks fantastic for the really where we are defending champions.

These guys have got a job to do here. With only 1.6 seconds between

all 16, you cannot mess about, very important to set a fast time. Haas

will be right next to James Guy but here is the defending world

champion. The British record-holder James Guy of Great Britain. Would

love to see him go maybe a low 145. I think if he does that he should be

fine. That is the sort of time needed to win two years ago. Only 19

years old then, taking on the best in the world and winning. Did not

quite go his way, unfortunately James Guy fourth in Rio last year

and absolutely gutted. Still came away with two silver medals but it's

the individual glory he wants to back it up with. No Chad Le Clos, we

saw his strategy last year at the Olympics, going out so hard and

clinging on, but it's painful. Interesting to see how James takes

it out here. A massive cheer for the Hungarian in six. The crowd here I

think are the loudest I have ever heard at a swimming meet. Perhaps

only rivalled by the 2012 Olympics. James Guy is going with it. Look at

him. It's like the darts! It is louder than the darts, the World

Championship semifinal, then's 200-metre freestyle.

The first semifinal of the men's to did metres freestyle. James Guy

having a decent start. Majchrzak of Poland in three. Eyeballing each

other, James Guy and Townley Haas. The middle 100 is where you have to

establish your pace. That is where it can be won and lost. A lot of the

American in lane five, one lane up from James Guy. He is really taking

it to the field. He has to be a little bit careful. All of these

guys can come back. He also has to be careful because the second semi

is very quick indeed. Townley Haas over first for the USA. In third,

the Pole. Guy is looking good in the centre, in the black hats to the

left of the two leaders. Good swimming. Come on, let's really work

the turn. Set yourself up for a good last 50. A great time to go into the

final. Look at the wall from Townley Haas, the American. Maybe James Guy

fancies this. He is not going to let this World Championship title go

down easy. Maybe it is a statement of intent? What time can he do? Guy

is looking good. Very important to get a good touch. If he can get to

maybe third, it looks like he will win the first semifinal, James Guy

of Great Britain looking comfortable. His time, 1.40 five.

That was very good indeed. He won the World Championship title two

years ago for 100 slower than that. That's a very good semifinal swim.

Very mature, exactly what he needed to do. Guy the first semifinal. So

excited. I think he has just realised he is in the best form of

his life. OK, here's four one hundredths of a second slower than

he went previously. But he will want to take them on tonight. He was not

scared of Haas. He had the confidence he would bring it back. I

think that is where he is at his strongest. Measured over the first

100 and really sticking it to the guys over the next. It was

controlled, not frantic over the last 25 metres. He has his power,

Adam Peaty, watching how he goes. I hope he enjoyed it. I'm guessing he

didn't know the result. He looked a little bit vacant. But then he did

just win the world title again. That was a very good swim. We got a

thumbs up and OK, very good swimming. James Guy wins the first

semifinal. Haas second, Kozma, very good from Hungary in third. Wow.

200 is his much put -- preferred event. That was amazing. Rightly so,

the second semifinal is going to be quick. He wants to get his hand on

the wall first. He wasn't giving it up, he wasn't going to save

anything. How much does he get from the atmosphere? He is a showman and

great personality. Walking out here with these guys would have been

super exciting for him. Left hand to Sharon, she's got James now.

We are being told you are a showman, I thought you paced that are

beautifully. A showman? The plan was to go out relaxed and hard, but have

some left for the back half. It felt great. It looks really good. It

looked like you were in control, so much better than the 100? This

morning, so much more relaxed. I knew what I was going with the race.

I'm loving it, it's great. You are going to take it to them, you're not

going to let them have the title easily? I'll give it my best shot.

There were some fast guys there. It will be a close one. You have become

a man and moved away from and dad, how is that going? It's hard, my mum

is making me some dinners for the start of the week, I am still

struggling with the cooking. But it is great being at Bath. They said

they are trying to send your brother to look after you. God, no, not

going to happen. Good luck in the 200. We will keep everything crossed

for you. We have Duncan Scott going in the

second semifinal of this one. Let's hand over and Steve to take us

through this one and see if two Brits can book themselves a place in

fierce final tomorrow night. Well, it is going to be interesting.

Look at that. There is the Olympic champion, Sun Yang. Let's not forget

about Duncan Scott. He is the fastest man in the world at the

moment on the 100 metres freestyle. Well, he was, coming into the meet.

There is Sun Yang. He The gold on the 400. It was an ominous,

frightening race. When he decided to go, sparks flew. He has got a lot of

power, and a lot of other swimmers don't possess that. He seems to be

able to turn it on when he wants to. Sun Yang has won eight gold medals

at the championships. He can match winning eight titles. No Asian has

ever finished top male, he could do it here.

Second semifinal of the 200 metres freestyle. In lane six, Duncan Scott

of Great Britain has a cracking chance of making the final. It was a

quick first semi, so he has some work to do. Sun Yang in the centre,

in the pink suit. Not a great start. Three from the bottom now, Duncan

Scott is looking very good indeed. I'm a big fan of Duncan Scott. In

swimming, technique is the limiting factor. He is such a brilliant

technician. He has such easy speed because he's so fast on the 100. How

does a six two guy who weighs about 12 stone from Scotland beat the

biggest guys in the world? Because he's technically brilliant. Look at

him, taking it to Sun Yang. I would not worry about the Japanese, I fear

it might have been taken out too hard. Duncan Scott has real easy

speed. He wants to show the guys what he is made. Come on, let's

build into this third 50, the most important for me. He looks

sensational. He looks very good indeed, three lanes from the right.

Duncan Scott pass to hold on. He worked the second and third 50 very

hard. But he is leading by maybe a metre or a metre and a half. One

length left. Duncan Scott is half a second head of the field, with the

two Russians in second and third. Here comes Sun Yang in the centre.

It is fast, he needs to hold on. This would be brilliant if he could

beat these guys. I fear he is getting himself into some trouble.

It must be hurting now. He has done the job, I don't think he will let

too many go past him, if any. He might get the touch. Come on. He's

got it. 1:45.16. That is actually faster than James Guy won the first

semi. Great Britain are going to go into the final in first and second.

My goodness me. I did not expect that. What on earth are they

sticking in these meals back at the British hotel? They must have had

some good cereal this morning. I tell you what, everything is going

the men's way. Duncan Scott, we have high expectations for him coming

into the meet. He was the fastest in the world going into the meet. This

200 freestyle is looking really strong as well. There is no reason

tomorrow night that there couldn't be two British men on the blocks. It

just looks brilliant. Duncan Scott wins the second

semifinal. Look who was second. The Russians, third and fourth.

Let's see who has made the final. Great Britain, let's savour that.

Duncan Scott, fastest in the semifinal. Sun Yang is there. Mack

Horton isn't. Wonderful news for the freestyle relay, goodness gracious.

You lot are never happy, great, one and two fastest into the final, but

the relay, come on. Let's talk about the 200 freestyle. How indicative is

that of the final tomorrow night? I can't hear what you said! Both

awesome. Duncan, all of the talk was about James, but Duncan looked so

smooth down the first 100 metres. Legs hear from him, because he is

with Sharon. Many congratulations, a tremendous

swim. I don't know that we thought we had two Brits going in first and

second. Neither did I. Just had to try to make it back. I'm really

happy with that. Something is going on in the men's camp, success does

breed success? Definitely. You saw it earlier on, Adam Peaty, and then

Ben Proud. The men's camp in British swimming is in a good place. We will

try to keep the momentum going. A fantastic couple of years you are

having, getting better every time you get into the water. Easier said

than done. A lot of hard work that gets you there, and the lovely thing

is, the 200 freestyle will just help your 100 no end? Definitely. I was

nervous going into it, because I hadn't swum internationally. But it

gives me confidence, going into another event I have establish

myself that. I am looking forward to that. We are looking forward to the

final. Thank you very much. We have a final on our hands, time

for the women's tinted metre individual medley, featuring Katinka

Hosszu and Siobhan O'Connor for Great Britain.

I cannot hear you. That was the loudest roar I think I have ever

heard anywhere. That was unbelievable. Goodness gracious me.

Katinka Hosszu of Hungary goes in as the fastest qualifier for the final

of the women's 200 metres individual medley. My word. The crowd here have

just gone absolutely nuts. Katinka Hosszu will be in four, Margalis

will be in five, and Siobhan O'Connor will be in six. This crowd,

the atmosphere is electric. I have never heard such a noise at

the start. Siobhan O'Connor in six, fourth fastest into the final.

Sydney Pickrem of Canada is in three. She is a big threat. The

final of the women's 200 medley. The 50 metres butterfly, backstroke,

breaststroke and freestyle. A very good start indeed, she has done to

the championships, Katinka Hosszu of Hungary, the world record-holder and

defending champion. She is first class. Absolutely brilliant. Covered

in goose bumps after hearing that noise. It's like being at a football

match. Katinka Hosszu is the Libby champion butterfly and backstroke,

you can expect her to be fast on this first 100 metres. Siobhan-Marie

O'Connor in second place. Katinka Hosszu will be wanting to play to

her strengths and really work this backstroke leg. Siobhan-Marie

O'Connor will not want to let her go. The Americans sandwiched in

between. Pickrem not turning up, in lane three. That is a big surprise,

he is not turning up at all. But Katinka Hosszu, the crowd is going

to go nuts when she turns first. Hosszu over first, the world

record-holder. Just outside of her world record pace. Great Britain's

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor in fifth. Her breaststroke leg is very strong. You

can just see the black hat on the left-hand side, three from the

bottom. She is looking good, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. She has some

work to do down the second half. It really is all about the world

champion, the defending champion, the Olympic champion, Katinka Hosszu

of Hungary. Look at Siobhan O'Connor. She will be hurting, she

had that long break after the Olympics. This is where

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor Hass to work like she has never worked before she

is going to get a bronze medal, but she is capable. Only one person is

going to win this race, and that is Katinka Hosszu. She looks great. 20

metres to go. She is going very well indeed. I have to say, Ohashi of

Japan, closest to us, she is pushing it. Quite incredible. Katinka Hosszu

is going to be the world champion again. She does win with a time of

2:07.00. The bronze has gone to Cox of the USA.

As you can hear, the Hungarian crowd is going absolutely nuts. More

reaction on the red button. See you there.
