- Adam Peaty wins gold in 50m breaststroke.
- His 100m record for eight years was broken.
- Williamson wins silver medal.
Adam Peaty rebounded from his 100m final setback to capture 50m breaststroke gold.
Peaty, 27, won a full set of major medals with his fourth Commonwealth gold and seventh overall medal.
His eight-year 100m undefeated streak ended on Sunday, and he said he expected too much of himself in his recovery from a fractured foot.
He warned his rivals he was like a caged lion ready to “bite” and won the only major gold medal missing from his collection in 26.76 seconds.
Peaty said: “I’m a much happier man. I had two options this morning, I either fight or I don’t. If anyone knows me, I fight.
“That means so much. I lost my spark at the start of the week and to have it back now, this is what it’s about.
“That was the only one I hadn’t won in my career, the Commonwealth 50. So I can retire now. No, no, but I’m very happy with my progress there.”
Sam Williamson of Australia won the silver medal, and Ross Murdoch of Scotland won an amazing bronze.
