Peaty was part of the 4 x 100metre mixed medley relay team that stormed to gold last night.

The quartet of Peaty, Georgia Davies, Freya Anderson and James Guy set a new European record with a stunning performance that left the rest of the pool trailing in their wake.

Peaty returns to the pool today in the men’s 50m and will compete later in the week in the men’s 4 x 100m medley, and he has his eyes set on defending the titles he won in London two years ago.

“That’s always been on my mind,” he admitted. “It would be nice to defend all my titles, but I’m taking it stroke by stroke, event by event.

“I’ve got to step up on Wednesday and Thursday night; I don’t want to hit too much of a high, I want to stay nice and neutral.”
