ADAM PEATY dropped TWO F-bombs on live TV after cruising to 100m breaststroke gold at Tokyo 2020.

And emotions were clearly still running high as he let slip a couple of understandable obscenitieson Monday.

Peaty said: "I haven't felt this good since 2016. It just means the world to me.

"I thought I had the best preparation in my life but then you throw in morning finals, and you throw all that out the window. That's really what it takes to be an athlete. 

"It's not who's the best all year round, it's the best person on the day who's the most adaptable and really who f***ing wants it more.

"I did feel a little pressure in the semi-final but that was a good pressure - I needed to go my fastest one. 

"You can do whatever you want in your own pool, in your own nation, in your own race."

And his latest success broke Team GB's duck for a gold medal at this Games.

Peaty added: "This has closed a chapter for me.

";There was unfinished business and I want to say thank you to the nation for being behind me for the last five years.

"Thank you to my family, my gorgeous partner, my gorgeous son, and my family back home. They've been with it every step of the way.
