With 25 to go I had nothing left in the tank. “Paris is still the plan,” said Peaty moments after exiting the water.
The reigning Olympic champion and world record holder finished outside the medal positions in his favoured event on Sunday night.

I just couldn’t sleep last night and obviously when you’re in defence mode, you’re thinking, ‘what’s gone wrong?’ “It’s almost like you get in the car without a destination.
