Peaty extends golden streak but 'not happy' with swim

England powerhouse Adam Peaty said he was "not happy" on Saturday despite extending his remarkable 100 metres breaststroke winning streak with his second straight gold at the Commonwealth Games.

Gold Coast, Australia, April 7 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th Apr, 2018 ) :England powerhouse Adam Peaty said he was "not happy" on Saturday despite extending his remarkable 100 metres breaststroke winning streak with his second straight gold at the Commonwealth Games.

Peaty, 23, the Olympic, world and European champion, completed a four-year unbeaten cycle in his signature event but was left unsatisfied with his performance in the outdoor Gold Coast pool. "I won but even though it's a gold medal, four years undefeated and it kind of completed the circle, I'm not happy with that performance because it's not the best version of me," Peaty said.

"I just want to go out there in the 50m and try and get that better version." World record-holder Peaty's time of 58.84secs was outside his Games record he set in the semi-finals.

Peaty remains unconquered in the 100m breaststroke since storming to gold at Glasgow four years ago.

The dynamic Englishman is bidding to become the first breaststroker to go under the 57-second mark in the 100m after shattering his own world record with 57.13sec in winning Olympic gold at Rio two years ago.

Team-mate James Wilby, who won the 200m breaststroke gold on Thursday, finished strongly for second in 59.43secs, with South Africa's former world record holder Cameron van der Burgh third in 59.44secs.

Three Games records were smashed early on the third night of swimming with South Africa's four-time butterfly world champion Chad le Clos becoming the first man to win three consecutive gold medals in the same event at the Commonwealth Games.
