Duncan Scott’s sensational last leg secured a British victory in the men's 4×200m freestyle relay final in Singapore, as the Scottish superstar continues to cement his legacy as one of Britain’s greatest ever swimmers.

The quartet of Scott, Matt Richards, James Guy and Jack McMillan maintained Team GB’s dominance in this event, with victory at the World Aquatics Championships adding to gold medal success at the Olympics in Tokyo and Paris.

They also secured Britain’s first swimming medal at these championships, as they reclaimed a title they last won in 2023.

Success in Southeast Asia means Scott can add yet another medal to his ever-increasing collection. The Glasgow-born swimmer is now aiming to become the most decorated British Olympian of all time at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

“We can’t think this is normal, this is pretty special,” Scott told The Independent. “We can’t take it for granted at all because that was so hard fought and everyone’s kind of looking at us now and challenging us.”

With eight medals to his name, Scott is currently joint second with Bradley Wiggins in the list of Britain’s most decorated Olympians. The pair are one medal behind retired cyclist Jason Kenny.
