Swimmer Adam Peaty, divers Tom Daley and Matty Lee and mountain biker Tom Pidcock all won gold
Britain’s Olympians soared and awed on a Magic Monday in Tokyo, winning three golds in just five hours.
Adam Peaty, Team GB’s banker in these Olympics, retained his 100m breaststroke title in the small hours of the UK morning, becoming the first British swimmer to defend an Olympic title. And as diver Tom Daley wept tears of joy on the podium, his gold medal ambitions – alongside Matty Lee – finally realised after 13 years, and Tom Pidcock claimed surprise mountain bike glory, a smouldering opening couple of days for Team GB suddenly caught fire on day three.
