Adam Ramsay-Peaty finishes fifth in European Championships 100m final

Adam Ramsay-Peaty placed fifth in the 100m breaststroke final at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris.

Ramsay-Peaty, a three-time Olympic champion, timed 59.10 seconds, finishing just ahead of teammate Filip Nowacki. Nicolo Martinenghi won the race with a time of 58.58 seconds. Ramsay-Peaty's prior record included 16 gold medals at this event, having never lost a heat, semi-final, or final until now. His performance at the Commonwealth Games had already raised concerns, as he secured two bronze medals.
