SILVER for Matt Richards in the 200m freestyle. Missed out on Gold by 2 hundredths of a second from Lane 1. Stunning swim.

I was gutted that I didn't get time to see Tom Pidcock win Gold today. Typical French organisation having the MTB races on Sunday & Monday instead of both at the weekend.

Glad GB are on the board with Golds, the last thing they need is armchair pundits nagging them about it.

Hey, Ireland won a medal too!

The mens triathlon has been postponed due to water quality in The River Seine not meeting sufficient quality standards.
It has now been rescheduled for 9.45am tomorrow after the women's event.

Over the past few days Adam Peaty has had covid. It's probable that he had it in some form during the final of the breaststroke, which may have influence the result.

His participation in the relay depends on him recovering from it soon.
