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. "(But) I'm not happy with that performance because it's not the best version of me." Peaty had swum a Commonwealth Games record 58.59 on Friday but said he felt he was nowhere near enough to his best to challenge his own world record of 57.13 from the 2016 Rio Olympics. "I went the first 50m as fast as possible but couldn't hold on," Peaty said.
