Adam Peaty summed up the secret to Britain's swimming success in one word - 'belief' - after helping bring home 4x100m mixed medley relay gold in world record time at the Tokyo Games on Saturday.
Britain have now taken four golds from the Tokyo pool, and seven medals, matching their best haul at the 1908 London Games."One word has changed the whole team and it's 'belief'," declared Peaty, who swam the second breaststroke leg with an astonishing split of 56.78 and now has three career Olympic golds."We've got champions who believe we can win. We have champions who believe we can get world records.
"He's changed British swimming massively," said the 25-year-old, who swam the butterfly leg in 50.00 - his fastest ever split - after pulling out of the individual butterfly to save his energies."And when we saw him win the 100 breast for the second time at an Olympic Games, that's when for us it really started."
