First Welsh Gold in Olympic Pool

Welsh swimmers Matt Richards and Calum Jarvis have brought home a gold alongside James Guy and Tom Dean in the men's 4 x200 m freestyle relay final in Tokyo.

They saw off the Russian Olympic Committee and Australia to finish in six minutes and 58.58 seconds and secure Team GB's third swimming gold of Tokyo 2020.

It means another title for Tom Dean, who won the individual event yesterday.

Matt's mum Amanda has revealed her son was forced to train in a paddling pool during the coronavirus lockdown:

"We found a massive 3 metre by 2 metre over ground pool for the garden. And then we fixed a bungee rope to the garage wall and he swam against that using that for resistance.

We had a few issues with that snapping but thankfully the garage wall is still standing though!"
