Adam Ramsay-Peaty finished with a 26.94 seconds time, missing a medal by just 0.44 secs behind Williamson and once again taking bronze at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. He admitted that the time felt disappointing and that "nothing makes sense" this week.

The veteran breaststroker has dominated the 100m and 50m, holding the world record and remaining unbeaten for eight years. partying, he sees the 50m as his best shot for a medal at the 2028 Olympic Games, which now includes the event.

Ramsay‑Peaty’s training journey has seen him coached by Mel Marshall, who moved to Australia in 2024, and then a stint at Repton in Derbyshire before returning to London under Lisa Bates. He stresses that hard work must be directed correctly and that progress takes years, not months.

England also celebrated successes: Brock Whiston won gold in the women’s 200m breaststroke SB8, Iona Winnifrith took bronze, Amalie Smith earned silver, and the 4x200m freestyle relay squad of Freya Colbert, Abbie Wood, Leah Schlosshan and Freya Anderson secured silver.
