American Aaron Peirsol shattered his own world record in the 100-meter backstroke at the world swimming championships on Tuesday. He followed in the footsteps of Michael Phelps, who set the world record in the 200-meter freestyle, and Natalie Coughlin, who broke her own mark in the 100-meter backstroke. Peirsol won the gold medal in 52.98 seconds to slice 0.19 seconds off the previous record of 53.17 he set at Indianapolis in 2005. (WCSN, WCSN.com)

  • Its time For Peirsol to make a comeback!!!

  • @caseyjonesowns But that's what makes him so great is how unappreciated he is and how humble and he's not a giant douche like Phelps or Lochte.

  • haha i'm going to be on the same swim team as lochte next year at UF! HAHA I cant wait!!! :D

  • hes my idol i only have a 1:05:34 personal best 100m back i bet i could drop 4 secs off the bat with one of those suits not one ounce of drag
