Beaten Ramsay Peaty casts doubt on future as Australia rule Commonwealth pool

Adam Ramsay-Peaty’s bid for gold at a fourth Commonwealth games fell short on Saturday as he was beaten into bronze in the 100m breaststroke on another golden night in Glasgow for Australia.

Sam Williamson upset the three-time Olympic gold medallist to claim one of Australia’s five golds from six events in the pool.

World champion over 50m in Doha two years ago, Williamson edged a thrilling finale in the event of day two of the Games to win in 59.17 secs.

Rising star Filip Nowacki also beat out Ramsay-Peaty to secure silver and Jersey’s first Commonwealth medal for 36 years.

Ramsay-Peaty was aiming to become the first English swimmer to win gold in four different Commonwealth Games.
