England’s Adam Ramsay-Peaty will have the chance to defend his men’s 50m breaststroke title at the Commonwealth Games after qualifying third fastest for the final.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 31-year-old, who broke down in tears after taking bronze in the 100m<\/a> on Saturday night, finished second in his semi-final with a time of 26.82 seconds.<\/p>\n

World record holder Ramsay-Peaty will have to close the gap to South Africa’s Michael Houlie – who set the pace with 26.61 – when he races in the final on Monday at 20:07 BST.<\/p>\n

Australia’s 100m breaststroke gold medallist Sam Williamson and Jersey’s silver medallist Filip Nowacki will also line up in the final.<\/p>\n

“I think I’ve still got a little bit more to grow. I think there was a massive lesson in yesterday,” three-time Olympic gold medallist Ramsay-Peaty told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n

“I can’t change anything obviously, so we have to get over it. I also know the trajectory I have to be on now and it’s a little bit different to what I thought it was.<\/p>\n

“I’ve also got to remind myself that I haven’t swam a championships in two years. I put a lot of expectation on myself coming into this games.<\/p>\n

“But as you know, the best athletes in the world, you don’t do it in training, you have to actually compete well and that is a skill on its own and we have to get used to that.<\/p>\n

“I’m enjoying it and we’ll have to see what that result is tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

Ramsay-Peaty’s team-mate Max Morgan finished sixth in the same semi-final race and was eliminated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
