Magic Monday: Triple threat for GB during gold medal rush

After Super Saturday at London 2012, there was Magic Monday in Tokyo as British athletes won three gold medals.

Adam Peaty was Britain's banker and he did not disappoint, romping to victory in the 100 metres breaststroke to become the first British swimmer to retain an Olympic title.

Peaty's success turned into a gold rush in the afternoon when divers Tom Daley and Matty Lee claimed a stunning victory in the 10m synchronised platform event before 21-year-old Tom Pidcock dominated the men's mountain bike race.

Here, the PA news agency looks at Britain's magnificent gold medal run.

0317 – Adam Peaty

The Yorkshireman is an Olympic champion at the age of just 21 after a fearless display in Izu, riding down the finishing straight carrying a British flag as he claimed the country's first medal in mountain biking.

Pidcock is a huge talent across cycling disciplines and his success came less than two months after he suffered a broken collarbone in a training crash on the road.
