Adam Peaty claims third gold medal as GB win medley relay
Uttoxeter swimmer Adam Peaty claimed his third gold medal of the World Aquatics Championships in Gwangju as Great Britain won the men's 4x100m medley relay.
Peaty, who successfully defended his 50m and 100m breaststroke titles earlier in the week, teamed up with Luke Greenbank, James Guy and Duncan Scott to record a thrilling victory over the United States.
Scott's storming final freestyle leg helped the British quartet set a newEuropean record of three minutes, 28.10 seconds.
After a solid backstroke leg from Greenbank, Peaty took over and unsurprisingly got Britain in front at the next change, but Guy was passed on the butterfly leg by America's Caeleb Dressel and Russia's Andrei Minakov.
Scott still trailed at the final turn by 0.84 secs but produced a strong finish to snatch victory, and his split of 46.14s would have broken the world record in a regular 100m freestyle.
