The 31-year-old English swimmer secured his first bronze in Saturday's 100m breaststroke, his specialist event. He followed that with another third-place finish in the 50m breaststroke on Tuesday evening.

Ramsay-Peaty clocked 26.94 in the 50m final, finishing 0.44 seconds behind Australian winner Sam Williamson, who backed up his 100m performance to secure a double. South Africa's Michael Houlie took silver, with Ramsay-Peaty third by just 0.01 seconds.
