England's Adam Brown: 'I had to dig deep to win swimming gold'

By , Senior Reporter
Adam Brown says that he had to "dig deep" to edge out Australia's James Magnussen and take gold for England in the men's 4x100 swimming relay at the Commonwealth Games.

Team England swimmer Adam Brown has said that giving 'everything from his heart' was the key to his gold-medal success at the Commonwealth Games.

The 25-year-old played a key role in the men's 4x100m relay as England recorded a time of 31.51s to win the race with a new Games record.

"I swam on the freestyle leg, and I was up against the fastest guy in the world, James Magnussen, so I knew he was going to be coming back at me the whole second 50 [metres]," Brown told BBC Sport. "I had to dig in real deep and give it everything from my heart."

Australia took silver, while the bronze medal went to South Africa.
