Adam Ramsay-Peaty forced to settle for 50m breaststroke bronze in Glasgow

Adam Ramsay-Peaty takes bronze in the men’s 50m breaststroke final (Andrew Milligan/PA) - (PA Wire)

Adam Ramsay-Peaty’s “battle plan” failed to pay off as he was forced to settle for another bronze medal in the men’s 50 metres breaststroke final at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Ramsay-Peaty had vowed to rebound from his emotional third place in Saturday’s 100m final but was once again eclipsed by Australia’s Sam Williamson, with South Africa’s Michael Houlie taking silver.
