Adam Peaty added yet more silverware to his historic collection at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Peaty claimed 50m breaststroke gold in Birmingham last summer, completing his collection with that having been the only title to previously elude him at Olympic, World, European or Commonwealth level.
Back in Glasgow in 2014, Peaty, then training at City of Derby, made his name when he won two gold medals for Team England in the 100m breaststroke and the 4x100m medley relay.
Since then he has gone on to win 17 European titles, eight world titles and three Olympic gold medals, becoming the first British swimmer ever to retain an Olympic swimming title, also winning two further Commonwealth gold medals in Gold Coast.
After competing at his second Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021, Peaty competed in Strictly Come Dancing, coming ninth, while he was also awarded an OBE in the 2022 New Year’s Honour.
