hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. a third world championship gold, a world record and a world record broken and the experts say there is more to come from adam peaty. and where next for gareth bale as the welshman is made to feel very unwelcome at real madrid. what a difference a year makes — from crying at carnoustie to claiming the claretjug. shane lowry speaks about his incredible turnaround. also coming up on the programme... the england netball players are philosophical about missing out on the gold medal. it could go either way, and unfortunately we lost the semifinal but the way we picked ourselves up for the bronze medal,

was commendable. welcome to the programme. is there nothing the golden boy can't achieve? adam peaty finished first in the 100 metres breastroke at the world championships in south korea just a day after beating his own world record and becoming the first man to break 57 seconds. his dominance of the sport has been so impressive and with the olympics looming, hopefully there's more to come. when it seems your main competition is yourself, try to make the numbers are small as possible. this is adam peaty in a field of eight, but breastro ke peaty in a field of eight, but breastroke might be the slowest stroke in the pool, but he has

smashed his own record. the first man under 57 seconds. his mantra, do it once, do it twice, do it better. in the final, if you are not sure which one peaty is, he is normally the one out in front by some distance. he isjust under the world record. this is very exciting... by halfway the destination of the gold medal was decided, but how long would it take to get there? not long. he said i want to do it, do it, and do it again. he has done it. peaty is the world champion for the third time in a row. the time, absolutely brilliant. that time, 57.14 was the fourth fastest in history, more than a second faster than anybody has ever slammed. my remit today was to go faster than yesterday and i have to be a better

version of myself. unfortunately i made a mistake in the first length, trying to force the speed but i am still learning. if there is still room for improvement, his world record in the 50 metres could be in jeopardy tomorrow. the question is, how low can adam peaty go? earlier i spoke to rebecca adlington and mark foster. it is how do you motivate yourself. i have heard interviews where he talks about going to dark places within himself. it is about timing and margins. does he find it on the start and his power. the guy is phenomenal. we can talk about him all day long. we cannot say enough about him. he has talked about meditating before a race and how important his mental

strength is, has not been a breakthrough? it is definitely part of it, especially as you get over. it is so much easier to improve when you are younger because you grow in so you are younger because you grow in so much strength and power and you have huge margins to make up for. you get to a stage where you kind of plateau, and you think right, it is harder to improve and especially for adam, he has nobody to challenge him. it must be a lonely place because he knows nobody is challenging me here, so he has got to test himself mentally. it can be a lonely sport in general. adam, his mental strength is what gives him the edge over so many other athletes. you cannot get any other athletes. you cannot get any other athlete and say they are six feet and their muscle mass and everything else, but it is about mentally how they prepare and how they cope with everything a stay at top level. he is 24, what more can we expect? he

seems to have been around forever. mine was 19, i was well behind. he has talked about the next olympics and even talked about the olympics after that. he wants to impact the sport in such a bigger way other thanl sport in such a bigger way other than i am here, and i willjust rock up than i am here, and i willjust rock up and do personal bass. he talks about it so much. you have to understand how good, that is the thing that people haven't connected with yet, we don't see enough swimming on tv, or his personality, but just how swimming on tv, or his personality, butjust how good he is. beating everybody else in the world by 1.5 seconds in swimming terms, it is a country mile. it is normally hundreds of a second. 24 years of age. iam not hundreds of a second. 24 years of age. i am not saying hundreds of a second. 24 years of age. iam not saying he hundreds of a second. 24 years of age. i am not saying he can do the same, but he keeps his mind ticking over and keeps himself fit, who

knows what is possible. matt horton refused to share the medal podium with the chinese swimmer after accusing him of being a drug cheat. he was suspended in 2014 for testing positive for using a banned substance which he said was for a heart complaint. it's been an incredible turnaround for irishman shane lowry. just a year ago he had missed the cut in carnoustie and was sitting in the club carpark in tears. fast forward 12 months and he is lifting the claretjug at royal portrush. so how did lowry get back to grips with golf? joe lynskey reports. shane lowry strode up the last and he knew no one could catch in. the island of ireland waited half a century to house the open. their champion in waiting was six shots clear. this was why they had stayed out in the rain. to sum it is a dull, fuddy—duddy old game. at

moments like this make you think.- the start of the week, shane lowry as champion was 100 to one and 12 months ago he missed the cut at carnoustie, but his coach, his caddie and his family have helped him believe. look, i am here now, a major champion. i cannot believe i am saying it. the people around me really believed i could, which helps me. i sat in the car park at carnoustie a year ago to this week andi carnoustie a year ago to this week and i cried. ijust didn't like doing it and look, 12, what an excellent year this was. after crying in the car park, now he had songs to sing. he went straight to dublin to celebrate and called off the tournaments he planned for the week. they could skip work here

where he led the game. this county when galea football's biggest prize and his dad and uncles were part of the team. in his home town, they already knew the champion within. the biggest thing about shane, he never the biggest thing about shane, he never showed any fear. we believe in him. on the world stage this week, not only win it, but so comfortably an easy and nearly casually. we are in all of the man. on the world stage, this island keeps winning majors. since an englishman last won the open, now four men from the republic and northern ireland have done it. including patrick harrington. the shane lowry, he has gone from hero to a friend. to be able to hang around with someone like patrick harrington, who we know pave the way for the success of irish golfers and i am so happy i can add my name to the list of major champions. shane lowry. ..

can add my name to the list of major champions. shane lowry... this was the year golf's oldest major found a new champion and new fans. the winning margin was the biggest for nine years, but in portrush and across this isle, it feels like the best ever. you can watch all the highlights from portrush on the bbc iplayer. time for a look at the other sports news stories making the headlines today: danny cipriani's chances of being selected for the rugby world cup appear slim after he was left out of england's latest training squad. cipriani won't be among a 38—man group travelling to italy on monday for a 12—day camp. the highly rated racecourse c of class has died after a severe bout of colic. the filly, who won the irish oaks and the yorkshire oaks was narrowly beaten runner up in flat racing's arc de triomphe. daniel ricardo former manager is

claiming he is owed £10 million from the formula 1 driver in unpaid earnings. he says he is due earnings from his contract with renault. the australian's lawyer says there is no merit in the claim. gareth bale looks to be on his way out of real madrid if manager zinedine zidane is to be believed. bale was left out of the squad for a pre—season friendly, and zidane says the welshman's departure would be "good for everyone". earlier i spoke to our sports correspondent david ornstein about the war of words between player and manager it's quite incredible really we are talking about 30—year—old gareth bale who earns £600,000 a week. he is under contract until 2022 but is now linked with moves to the chinese super league perhaps. reports suggesting two clubs are interested

with speculation he could earn £1 million a week if he wants to. there is speculation around buying munich, paris saint—germain, tottenham and manchester united. premier league interest will always be there but it is up to gareth bale. and his manager has pointed out, that zinedine zidane is a disgrace and shows no respect for the player who has done so much for real madrid. they are working on a few possibilities. gareth is a real madrid player but if he does leave, it will be his own decision and not zinedine zidane's. so he has a choice, sit tight at zinedine zidane or go for a huge amount of money. now to another superstar who may well be leaving their club — paul pogba.

he's been linked with a move away from manchester united, not least because of what both the midfielder and his agent have had to say over the last few weeks. however, on their preseason tour in singapore, his current teammate juan mata says he hopes pogba stays. we all know paul and he is a fantastic midfielder. he is a great quy: fantastic midfielder. he is a great guy, very fantastic midfielder. he is a great guy, very positive and a good influence. he brings everyone together. but i cannot speak for other people, i cannot speak for myself, my future in the club and as a team—mate and a friend, also i would like him to stay and be happy. he isa would like him to stay and be happy. he is a very good player for us. would like him to stay and be happy. he is a very good playerfor us. but i cannot say much else. it's been a long journey for the irish, but, in a momentous match, they will take on england in their first ever test at the home of cricket. for england, after the glory and euphoria of winning the world cup, they will turn their attention to the ashes. so, while they may be viewing the test against ireland on wednesday as a warm up match, its significance is huge. our reporter henry moeran has been with the teams at lord's eight days on from one of the most memorable days in the history of

english cricket, the confetti and the champagne corks have been cleared away and lords is gearing up for the start of the test summer, four days against ireland is the first assignment, starting on wednesday and a big opportunity, not just for those england players are making a case for ashes selection button irish side playing in an historic occasion and for some members of the squad, playing against a side they have playful before. it is really special to be here. all the lads will be looking to taking them out on wednesday. it is important we go out and try and do what we have been doing well. england are resting some of their big—name players who were busy during the seven week world cup period, thanks to ben stokes and just butler, given this test match off header five weeks intense ashes battle. he gives a chance for others, lewis gregory of somerset who comes into the squad for the first time. a lot of the focus is at the top of the order. england's

opening partnership of rory burns and jason roy, looking to get some form in ahead of the challenge against australia. seeing the boys last sunday was amazing and to get in and amongst that feeling. as you can imagine there is a fair amount of excitement. maybe a couple of sore heads as well. has been a really good move and a good place to get amongst. bit of irish in me, i a lwa ys get amongst. bit of irish in me, i always keep one eye is on what the irish boys are doing. we have played afairfew of irish boys are doing. we have played a fair few of them before in county critic and it's something i am looking forward to full so much cricket has gone this summer but we have six test matches in england starting on wednesday and ireland will feel, on this massive occasion for them, this could be an opportunity for england, not having played red bull cricket for some time, it may be a bit vulnerable. what an occasion it would be for irish cricket and what an occasion it will be to start this test

summer. so a huge summer ahead for england's men but the women have already failed to regain the ashes against australia. they lost all three of the one day internationals and yesterday's drawn test match means the best they can hope for is a draw overall. lt‘s raised questions about the development of the womens game. earlier i spoke to the former somerset and middlesex player isabelle westbury. i asked how the team went from winning the world cup two years ago to such a big defeat. the world cup was a wonderful moment but it wasn't a reflection of the relative positioning of the team, if that makes sense. they didn't have to play australia in a knockout and things came together at the right time. you can have upset and surprising world cup winners. england were probably a surprising world cup winner. australia had been near or near enough the number one international side for the last ten yea rs i international side for the last ten years i just international side for the last ten years ijust had an upset in the world cup. the ecb have invested heavily in england's women's

cricket. do you feel australia have invested even more? it's not a question about the relative amount, it is when they invested it. that is the key thing. in england, about five years ago made all of their england women's players completely professional, full—time 18 contracts. but they didn't invest anywhere underneath so anyone playing in the county structure or anyone not in the england squad was anyone not in the england squad was an amateur. australia have a more balanced injection of money. they have had their domestic and state—level structure semiprofessional first and now it is full—time professional. it means their top players have perhaps earned quite as much as england's top players but it has been more level and you have this broader, well—rounded competition. england say they are going to do this but it is still that cliff face where if you don't play for england, if you get dropped, you suddenly have

nothing. a bronze was not the colour medal that they wanted, but england netballers say they're pleased that they won something for tracey neville at the world cup in her last game in charge. england came so close to getting to the final — losing out to the eventual winners new zealand byjust two goals. earlier i spoke to shooting partners helen housby and jo harten and asked them how it felt to stand on the podium in front of a home crowd in liverpool? it was a relief to be on the podium. obviously we wanted to be in the gold medal match but to come away with a good victory over south africa and the bronze medal, we have to be happy and end with a win.|j know there were a lot of tears after the semifinal in the tight loss against new zealand, but what was the difference, what was it that gave them the extra edge? they went on to win the tournament. they did and they are a quality side. on the day theyjust performed better than

we did. they delivered and credit to them. they did exactly the same in them. they did exactly the same in the final. we weren't good enough in the final. we weren't good enough in the semifinal and we would have wanted the gold medal, as everybody does but the margins were so fine. it can go either way and unfortunately for us we lost the semifinal. but the way we picked ourselves up for the bronze was commendable. exactly, there was a feeling of deflation afterwards, how difficult was it to go out and perform as well as he did against south africa? we addressed it straightaway in the changing room and we were very honest with each other. we knew it wasn't good enough how we performed, but we had to put it to bed. i have been in england teams where we had to hang over the next day and didn't perform in the bronze medal match. we sat together, played some games, did our homework on south africa and kept true to our standards. that made us deliver on the sunday. you both play in australia now, do you feel there has

been may be more investment in the anz and
