ADAM PEATY led the biggest gold rush since Klondike for Team GB at the last two Olympics.
And six-time world champion Mark Foster is backing Britain's greatest swimmer to hit the gold standard again in Paris this summer.
At an ungodly hour, with finals shunted past midnight to suit American TV prime-time audiences, Peaty landed the first of 27 Olympic gold medals for his country at the Rio 2016 Games in the 100 metres breaststroke.
Five years later, in Tokyo, he was the first Brit to bring home the bullion as he defended his title, and Foster is tipping him for another golden summer.
Foster, who won 47 major international titles, said: "From the first time Adam stepped onto the international stage, I said he would be unbeatable.
"That's proved to be right. The only times he has been beaten have been just after he broke his foot or when he's been out of sorts.
