Following the race, Peaty said: “It’s been a very long way back and I look at the score there and you would never think in your wildest dream that it would be 59s to win it there.
“I executed as well as I could. It doesn’t matter what it says on the scoreboard because in my heart I know that I’ve won there.
“I’m not crying because I’ve come second, I’m crying because of how hard its been to get here.
“It’s incredibly hard to win it once, then to win it again, and then to win it again. Everything I’ve done to this point has happened for a reason, and I can still compete with the best in the world.
“In my heart I’ve won, and these are happy tears. I said to myself I’d give it my all every day and I’ve done that, so how can you not be happy?
“This is what the Olympics is about, and I was just one percent two percent out. I woke up this morning with something in my neck, but these are not excuses, it’s what athletes have to deal with.
“I’m a very religious man and I asked god just to show my heart and this is my heart, I couldn’t have done more.”
