Adam Peaty Out of Mixed Medley Relay

Ryan Crouser made history by winning his third consecutive gold medal in the shot put at the Olympics with a throw of 22.90m, making him the first athlete to achieve this feat. Joe Kovacs secured the silver medal with a throw of 22.15m, while Jamaica's Rajindra Campbell took home the bronze after a fouled final attempt. Meanwhile, Adam Peaty, the five-time Olympic medallist, will miss the mixed 4x100m medley relay heats due to a positive Covid-19 test, which followed his silver medal win in the men's 100m breaststroke. Despite his absence, Peaty may still compete in the final if Team GB qualifies. The mixed relay team will feature Kathleen Dawson, James Wilby, Duncan Scott, and Anna Hopkin. Peaty described the past week as the worst of his life in terms of health, but remains hopeful for upcoming events.
