GOLD COAST, Australia (Reuters) - A disappointed Adam Peaty was going to go back to the drawing board to see where he went wrong at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games on Saturday, despite the fact that he defended his 100m breaststroke title.

Peaty swam well within his capabilities to clock 58.84 seconds to beat fast-finishing compatriot James Wilby and South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh and defend the Commonwealth Games title he won in Glasgow four years ago.
