Peaty claims third gold at European Championships

Britain's Adam Peaty has won his third gold medal at the European Championships in Berlin by winning the 50m breaststroke final this evening.

The 19-year-old completed the event in 27 seconds flat, having set a new world record of 26.62 in his semi-final.

The teenager had already won the 100m title, as well as gold in the 4x100m mixed medley earlier this week.

Peaty's win gives Britain their sixth gold of the championships, making it their best ever performance at the tournament.
