    The boos were so loud when she came out to swim. I'm glad the crowd did do that. It's a shock to us all that she is here. Yulia Efimova shouldn't have been allowed to compete. She shouldn't be here.

    Need a little help staying awake until Adam Peaty's final? Take a little inspiration from the man himself. On his Instagram account, Peaty has posted a video of himself doing a jumping press-up - not just a hand-clap press-up, but one where his feet come clear off the deck as well. A couple of those should get the pulse going. Or possibly rupture something.
