Read our privacy policy Adam Peaty will miss the mixed 4×100 metres medley relay final after returning to the pool on Saturday morning and describing how he has had the “worst week” physically. Peaty helped Team GB win the inaugural event at Tokyo 2020 but he missed Friday’s heats following a positive Covid test, hours after claiming silver in the men’s 100m breaststroke on Sunday night. While Peaty featured in the men’s 4x100m medley relay preliminaries, Team GB named Kathleen Dawson, James Wilby, Duncan Scott and Anna Hopkin as the line-up for the mixed showpiece on Saturday evening. But Peaty, whose leg of 59.16 seconds was just 0.11 secs slower than his time in last week’s men’s 100m breaststroke final, admitted he will not be firing on all cylinders this weekend.
