Placing second in the semi-final was Ireland’s Jack Kelly who clocked in 0.04 secs ahead of Ramsay-Peaty.

Fellow Briton Filip Nowacki, who claimed silver in last month’s Commonwealth Games, squeezing Ramsay-Peaty into the bronze medal position, came fourth on 59.03.

Ramsay-Peaty endured a disappointing campaign in Glasgow by his own lofty standing, having to settle for silver in the 50m event.
