Adam Peaty Wins Great Britain's First Gold

[ChillDoubt]

at the Rio games, breaking his own world record that he set only days ago. He won almost a length and a half ahead of the rest, a phenomenal swim over 100 metres.

Very well done young man!

Well done, Adam. I remember David Wilkie!

[bunkmoreland]

just watched it :-) Fantastic!

[vetuste_ennemi]

Damn - what channel, Bunkmoreland? (Forgot the "about 3am).

[Lie-in King]

Jazz Carlin adds Silver to the tally - brilliant PB swim :-))

[Cloverjo]

Amazing. Absolutely brilliant to break his own world record yet again. Well done to Jazz Carlin too. A great silver, second to the peerless Katie Ledecky.

Well done young man! :o}

Well swum. Is 'swum' a proper word? It doesn't look right.
The first of many medals, hopefully.

Wonderful performance...he made it look so easy ! He said on the radio that he touched the wall, looked around and thought....where is everybody !

Does anyone know if he is competing in any other races in Rio ?

[mikey4444]

We say dived but our American friends say dove !

[Butterbun]

A good start for team GB.

[mikey4444]

I have SWAM in the sea, but I have never swammed !

I'll not bother with the Olympic reply now.

Well done to Adam Peaty a worthy reward for all those 4.30 a.m. alarm calls.

[Old_Geezer]

Most impressive.

[Prudie]

Really I haven't heard this mentioned on the news today well only about 20 times :-)
Well done anyway

[marval]

Well one to both our swimmers.
