going with his sixth of the season, Antworten

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Great Britains Adam Peaty was considered a near-lock to win the 100-meter breaststroke Sunday night and a near certainty to set his second world record in 36 hours, and yet delivering on all the expectation diminished nothing for him. That was sheer joy on his 21-year-old face, not relief, when he saw hed lopped another .42 seconds off the world record hed just set Saturday morning, the very first time he touched the water as an Olympian.And thats not a bad thing to be, he joked, admitting hed surprised even himself.But now that hed followed it up by winning gold? He slapped the water once, twice, then again. His cheeks were flush red from exertion and he stared at the scoreboard again, his mouth open in wonder. Then he sat on the lane divider, still staring at his winning time of 57.13 seconds and said Oh my god to no one in particular.Peaty seemed determined to just soak in the moment. To always remember this scene. He knew he was Great Britains first gold medalist of the Games -- its first medalist in Rio, period -- but he got some company a few minutes later when Jazz Carlin, who missed the 2012 London Games because of illness, followed him to the podium with a silver medal in the 400-meter freestyle, behind American sensation Katie Ledecky.Carlin said watching Peaty race just before she did gave her goosebumps.You feel the pressure, even though you say you dont, Peaty said. You feel self-pressure because I want to perform, and I didnt want to let anyone down back home. Nothing means more to me than racing for my country, racing for the Queen and the Royal Family, racing for my family.But what about that time of his -- that amazing time he kept staring at? It absolutely blew me away, Peaty admitted, laughing now. Its always been in my mind I can achieve things that seem impossible ... [But] tonight I wasnt even thinking of a time. It was just, Get to the wall first. Get to the wall first. And I did.Cody King, the American who finished third behind Peaty, proudly noted it might have been the most stacked race in the events history. The silver medal went to Cameron van der Burgh of South Africa, who won this event at the 2012 Olympics. Van der Burgh seemed astonished at how fast his time was, too, happy to have been pulled along in Peatys magnificent undertow.But he and King were probably less thrilled at what Peaty promised next.I know theres more in there, he said. Well see. Ive got eight more years in this game. Maybe more.Peaty acknowledged he has come a long way since he was a child so terrified of water, I was afraid to take a shower. Thats how scared I was. He didnt have to be reminded he was the first British male swimmer to win Olympic gold since Adrian Moorhouse won this event in 1988, six years before Peaty was born.Historically, this means a lot to me, Peaty said.And hes not done yet. He said he planned to sit down and watch this race, analyze his mistakes and see what can be tweaked so he goes faster.We want to keep pushing the boundaries, he promised. Were obsessed.
