Ben Thompson and Sally Nugent reported on the Olympics on Monday's BBC Breakfast (Image: BBC)Peaty narrowly missed out on a gold medal in the Men's 100m breaststroke on Sunday.
He had been aiming for a third consecutive gold medal in his specialist event after fighting his way back to the pinnacle of the sport, but he fell 0.02 sconds short as Italy clinched top spot.
The emotional swimmer cried 'happy tears' following his defeat. His time of 59.05 seconds was more than two seconds shy of his personal best but still enough to take joint-second with American Nic Fink.
Germany's Melvin Imoudu took the bronze, with Peaty's big rival, Qin Haiyang, finishing down in seventh.
"It's been a very long way back," Peaty, who has overcome mental health struggles, injuries and a split from the mother of his child, told the BBC following the event.

"I gave my absolute all there. It's not about the end goal, it's all about the process. It doesn't matter what it says on the (timings) board - in my heart, I've already won."
"I'm not crying because I've come second. I'm crying because it's taken so much to get here. It's just incredibly hard to win it once and win it again and win it again. I've tried to find new ways to do it.
"Everything I've done to this point has happened for a reason, and I'm so happy I can race against the best in the world. It's not crying because I lost, in my heart I've won. These are happy tears. I said to myself I'd give my absolute best every day. I have and you can't be upset about that.
