a shot at history beckoned for adam peaty, his three—year—old son george was ready. daddy! he was on his way. peaty is the world—record holder in the ioo—metre breaststroke. but after battling depression and alcohol problems after tokyo, and even taking a break from swimming entirely, even he wasn't sure what was possible here. he was hoping to become only the second male swimmer to win three successive gold medals in the same event, but it was the surprise threat from italy he needed to be wary of. who is going to get the title? joint silver with nick fink from the us, but he only missed out by seconds. given the battle he has had, this is mightily impressive. it is just incredibly hard, to win this once and then again and again. i am not crying because i have come second, i am crying because it took so much to get you. these are happy tears. adam peaty wasn't the only finalist for team gb here, max litchfield also qualified for the men's 400—metre individual medley. but the rorar is all for the poster boy, the five—time world champion leon marchant. the french had waited 1

for eight years, adam peaty has pushed his sport to new limits.er but he now has perspective. in the 100m breaststroke, he went for a third gold in the row and britain's first at these games. he missed out by a margin of two hundredths of a second. commentator: the gold has gone to martinenghi of italy. _ and a joint silver medal, it's gone to adam peaty of great britain. less than two years ago, he said this sport had broken him. to get so close might have felt cruel. but, for peaty, the breakthrough wasjust to be here. it's just incredibly hard. like, to win it once and to win it again then to win it again. i'm not crying because i've come second, i'm crying because itjust took so much to get here. on the fast—flowing waters, kimberley woods held back her own tears. in the kayak, she'd just made her ride for redemption. she'd raced the k1 singles at the tokyo games but penalties in the final meant she'd finished last. this time she was flawless and now she had to wait. when the reigning champion made this mistake, woods had her medal. commentato
