GLASGOW (Reuters) - Adam Peaty and Sarah Sjoestroem again demonstrated why they are the stand-out swimmers at the European Championships as they torpedoed to their third golds of the week on Wednesday.

On the programme's penultimate day, Peaty, already a world record breaker in the 100 metres breaststroke and part of Britain's winning mixed 4x100m medley team, scattered the 50m breaststroke field in a Championship record 26.09 seconds.
