Matt Richards’s response after missing out on Olympic 200m freestyle gold by 0.02 seconds
Matt Richards has responded after missing out on Olympic gold in the men’s 200 metes freestyle by an agonising two-hundredths of a second.
Richards claimed Team GB’s second runner-up spot of these Paris Games on Monday (29 July) but like Adam Peaty 24 hours earlier, he was 0.02 seconds adrift of the winner – Romanian sensation David Popovici.
Speaking to BBC Sport, the 21-year-old said: “I can’t be too disappointed with that. My first individual at an Olympic games so to come away with a silver is fantastic.
“Obviously two one-hundredths off gold is excruciatingly frustrating but it’s added more fire to my belly.”
