On a night for the Lionesses, the man with the lion tattoo proved he was human after all. In a monstrous shock, Adam Peaty lost for the first time in four years, upstaged by fellow Englishman James Wilby.
It was suggested that, such has been Peaty’s dominance, he would win the 100metre breaststroke with only one fully functioning leg. But his lack of race fitness showed as he faded from the lead to finish outside the medals as his England teammate won a surprise gold medal.
