Swimming: Relay silver completes Britain's best ever Games
The HinduDuncan Scott became Britain's most decorated athlete at a single Olympics with his fourth medal from the Tokyo pool on Sunday as the country's all-time most successful swim team piled on the superlatives in their best ever Games. The United States took the final 4x100 medley relay gold in world record time but runners-up Luke Greenbank, Adam Peaty, James Guy and Scott -- with James Wilby in the heats -- smashed a much older benchmark as well as the European record. READ: Scott's three silvers and a gold, adding to the two relay silvers he won in Rio Olympics, sent him past the single Games hauls of gymnast Max Whitlock, and cyclists Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny and Bradley Wiggins as multiple medallists of the modern era. Peaty, the dominant men's 100m breaststroke champion and first British swimmer to successfully defend an Olympic title, and Guy both finished with three medals each while Tom Dean took two freestyle golds.
