wigan warriors will play hull fc in the challenge cup final at wembley next month, after coming fromlf—time. this try from michael mcilorum then helped them to victory. it will be wigan's 31st challenge cup final appearance, while hull are the current holders. great britain have ended the world swimming championships in hungary with seven medals, after the men's ax100 metre relay team won silver yesterday. double world champion adam peaty dragged the british team back into contention with a stunning breaststroke leg, and they were able to hold off a strong russian team to finish second to the usa. it is a third medal of the week for peaty, who believes he can go even faster still. everyone has got some areas to work on. obviously i get a lot of criticism for my start, and it is a good job i am good at the other 90% of the swim but that 10% is now what iam going of the swim but that 10% is now what i am going to pick up that amazing time that i need. i will be even more ruthless than i have been last year. i have picked up 0.3 from rio enters the 100, and the progression is very good
