Richards and GB 4x100m team finish fifth

Matt Richards鈥 first appearance of the Paris Olympics ended in disappointment as Great Britain finished fifth in the men鈥檚 4x100m relay final.

Richards came in for the final and swam the first leg in 47.83. Jacob Whittle, Tom Dean and Duncan Scott followed but GB finished just under a second off the podium. The race was won by USA, with Australia and Italy completing the podium.

"Obviously it's frustrating - we really wanted to try and get in there and go after the medals," Richards told 成人快手 Sport.

"So it's tough to be on the wrong side of it but I think we all put in a great effort. We couldn't have asked for much more."
