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!

200m breaststroke starts tomorrow but no sign of Adam listed.

I think I heard the commentators say he is in the relay medley later in the week.

Here you go Sandy:
Quick rules:
Swim is used in the present tense. I swim slower than Michael Phelps.
Swam is used in the simple past tense. Michael Phelps swam faster than everyone else. [Never: Michael Phelps swum faster than everyone else.]
Swum is used in the present perfect and past perfect tenses and must be preceded by 'has', 'have', or 'had'. Michael Phelps has just swum in his last Olympics race. [In the present perfect tense, the signal word 'just' tells us that the event happened in the very recent past.]
