Richards 'wanted more' from second Olympics
- Published
He may have won two Olympic golds and a silver by the age of 21, but Matt Richards wanted more from his second Games here in Paris.
Richards missed out on the 200m freestyle title by just 0.02 seconds - as well as finishing 4th and 5th in two relays.
"I thought I was capable of more," he told me. "I still think I probably was capable of more.
"It was a tight finish on the 200m [freestyle] that cost me a gold. I didn't quite get the 100m [freestyle] right this week.
"But I'm walking away from my second Olympics at 21 with two medals at this meet - three medals across two Games, I can't be too hard on myself.
"There's more to come. I'm nowhere near done and I'm hungrier than ever."
Richards will return home now with another big event on the horizon - he gets married to his fiancée Emily in three weeks.
