Peaty shocked by Italian Martinenghi in Olympic final

A tearful Adam Peaty had to settle for Olympic silver as Italy's Nicolo Martinenghi snatched a shock gold in the 100m breaststroke final in Paris.

Peaty, 29, was looking good with 25m to go but was pipped by 0.02 seconds and finished in a tie for second with American Nic Fink.

The Briton was bidding to become only the second man, after the great American Michael Phelps, to win the same swimming event at three consecutive Olympics.

Silver still caps a remarkable turnaround for Peaty who took a break from the sport after issues with alcoholism and his mental health since his last gold in Tokyo.
