Adam Peaty says he did feel the pressure of the nation on his shoulders before roaring to glory in the Tokyo pool to retain his 100m breaststroke title.
Peaty, 26, was the hot favourite to repeat in the event he won in Rio five years ago but his heats weren't his best and expectation was mounting.
But after producing a stunning swim to win gold, an emotional Peaty said that victory has 'closed a chapter' having settled what he felt was 'unfinished business'.
