Chad le Clos’ dad Bert proudly called him (repeatedly) a “beautiful boy” after he defeated Michael Phelps at London 2012 and the cameras do seem to find themselves drawn to the South African and his medals.

That’s 15 across the Delhi 2010, Glasgow 2014 and Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, with the 100m butterfly still to come here.

I visited him in Turkey before the Games to see how his training had changed since moving from his homeland. The strength work he’s doing for the first time in his career seems to be having a big impact on his sprint speed as prior to this year you’d have only backed him over 200m - but now he’s looks a threat over both, which is a good sign for him heading to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Adam Peaty speaking to BBC Sport after qualifying fastest for Monday's final: "That's the first race I've been relaxed. I went out there for pure enjoyment and not the time.

"I've been putting pressure on myself and you've got to find that enjoyment in the race. The expectation I put on myself is where the pressure comes from.

"My Nan's been tweeting me all week so I hope I can get that gold for her tomorrow."

England’s Jake Sheaf and Chris Gregory walk on to court on Coolangatta Beach. They face brothers Sam and Ben O’Dea of New Zealand and the winners will top the pool.

Gregory is 6ft 10 inches and got into the sport after being selected at a talent ID day designed for tall people. He chose this over rowing and things are progressing nicely as he and Sheaf have two wins from two so far.

Duncan Scott, Commonwealth gold medallist.

Here's how he did it.

Adam Peaty is the fastest qualifier - Cameron Van der Burgh's 26.95 is the second fastest.

Coming up next is the women's scratch race final, and among the 10 riders from the home nations taking part are Scotland's Katie Archibald and Wales' Elinor Barker, both of whom have already won gold medals at these Games.

Barker - joined by sister Megan in this race - won bronze in this event in Glasgow four years ago, and has since gone on to win silver at both world and European level.
