Olympics 2024: Top five stories from day three of Paris Games

British swimming great Adam Peaty, who picked up silver in the 100m breaststroke on Sunday, was confirmed by Team GB to have tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday.

The six-time Olympic medallist was agonisingly close to gold – missing out by just two hundredths of a second – and Team GB said the 29-year-old was “feeling unwell” before that final.

Peaty is scheduled to compete in relay events later in the programme but his involvement is now uncertain.

“Adam Peaty began feeling unwell on Sunday, ahead of his men’s 100m breaststroke final,” Team GB said in a statement.

“In the hours after the final, his symptoms became worse and he was tested for Covid early on Monday morning. He tested positive at that point.

“He is hopeful to be back in competition for the relay events later in the swimming programme. As in any case of illness, the situation is being managed appropriately, with all usual precautions being taken to keep the wider delegation healthy.”
