Adam Peaty won gold in the 100m breaststroke at the European Swimming Championships on Saturday, but his world record time of 57.00sec is under scrutiny due to a fault in the timing system.

What happened?

The Olympic champion was initially thought to have lowered his own world record, but officials from LEN, the governing body of European aquatics, confirmed the issue on Sunday.

Why it matters for Adam Peaty

This development could impact Peaty's reputation as a world record holder, and may lead to a re-evaluation of his performance at the championships.

What comes next?

The situation is still unfolding, and it remains to be seen how the timing fault will be resolved.

On Saturday, Peaty's time of 57.00sec was initially reported as a new world record, but the discovery of the fault has thrown his achievement into doubt.

The European Swimming Championships, held in Glasgow, have seen several British athletes achieve success, including Georgia Davies, who won gold in the 50m backstroke.

Davies touched the wall in 27.23sec, ahead of Russia's Anastasia Fesikova, to claim her first individual European title.

The men's 4x200m freestyle relay team, consisting of Calum Jarvis, Duncan Scott, Tom Dean, and James Guy, also won gold, setting a championship record of 7min 05.32sec.

Scott, who finished sixth at the turn in his leg, rebounded to trail the Italian teenager Alessandro Miressi's golden effort of 48.10sec in the 100m freestyle.

The championships have seen several British athletes qualify for upcoming events, including Max Litchfield and Mark Szaranek, who qualified second and fourth fastest for the 200m individual medley final on Monday.

Ross Murdoch appeared ominously quick in winning his 200m breaststroke semi-final, with James Wilby, a silver medallist in Saturday's 100m final, also making the cut.

The outcome of the timing fault investigation will be closely watched, as it may impact the official results of the championships.

The European Swimming Championships will continue on Monday, with several events still to be decided.

Adam Peaty's performance has been a highlight of the championships so far, and his fans will be eagerly awaiting the resolution of the timing fault issue.

The investigation into the timing fault is ongoing, and an update is expected soon.
