Britain's Adam Peaty narrowly missed out on another world record as he won the men's 50m breaststroke gold at the world championships on Wednesday to complete the sprint double.

Peaty, already a winner in the 100m, clocked 25.99 seconds, just 0.04sec short of his record-setting time in Tuesday's semi-finals, with Brazil's Joao Gomes Junior taking silver, 0.53sec behind.

South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh earned bronze at 0.61.
