The swimmer was competing in the 100m breaststroke final with the status of clear favourite going into the decisive race. Peaty was left heartbroken after missing out on a medal at the Commonwealth Games Wilby was the man who came out victorious in the showpiece event However his failure to place will go down as one of sport's biggest upsets along with Buster Douglas's victory over Mike Tyson in 1990, Leicester City's Premier League title win and Emma Raducanu's US Open victory last year. The 27-year-old is the reigning Olympic champion and world record holder in his favoured event, having gone eight years without losing. This includes the impressive feat of never being beaten in a major final. Unfortunately for Peaty, a dominant start that saw him hold the halfway lead fell away as fellow Briton James Wilby came away with the gold medal with a time of 59.25 seconds at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre. Zac Stubblety-Cook was second in 59.52secs and fellow Australian Sam Williamson third in 59.82s, 0.04 ahead of fourth-placed Peaty, who finished just under three seconds below his personal best of 56.88s. "It's heartbreaking," Peaty said. Peaty struggled to reach his usually high standards The result has cast doubt over Peaty's future in the sport "I don't see the point in doing something I wouldn't do that well at, at the moment. We'll see. "I don't know what went wrong. With 25m to go I had nothing in the tank. Maybe that's overexposure on the foot. Sometimes you just have a bad race, I can't pinpoint where I went wrong. There's a lot of debriefing to do. I need a full reset now. "It was a slow final, I can't remember the last time I went that slow. It just didn't go right. Of course, I'm disappointed, but that's what makes you go faster next time. "I've kind of lost that spark, whether it's with my foot, but I'll be looking to find that over the next months and into the next two years (before the 2024 Olympics in Paris)."
