Luke Greenbank also won a bronze medal in the 200m backstroke, and GB will participate in their most successful swimming competition ever.

Scott added his silver medal to the gold medal in the 4x200m freestyle, and Silver medal behind Olympic roommate Tom Dean In the personal 200m project.

This made him the first British swimmer to win three medals in a single Olympic Games since Henry Taylor in 1908.

But when he looked up at the electronic scoreboard, he didn’t look happy, screaming “f *** off” in a situation that seemed more silver-haired and frustrated.

Scott, the second fastest qualifier after the queen, is fifth only after the butterfly leg and sixth after the Chinese after the backstroke element.

But he returned to fifth place at the end of the breaststroke and closed the crawl, pushing Wang all the way to the finish line.

He touched the ball with 1 minute 55.28 seconds, only 0.28 seconds behind the champion, and Swiss player Jeremy Desplanches ranked third.

Green silver bronze

Earlier, Greenbank became Britain’s first Olympic men’s backstroke medal winner, because Herbert Haresnep also won a bronze medal in the 100m event in 1908.

The 23-year-old from Cockermouth, Cumbria, was headerd by the Russian Evgeny Rylov out of the penalty zone and finished third midway, while American Ryan Murphy came forward.

But he dug deep to prevent the challenge from Bryce Mayford of the United States, and finished third with 1 minute 54.72 seconds, completing the same 1-2-3 record as the previous World Championships in 2019.

Greenbank said: “It’s great, my dream has come true. I’m so happy, the full moon.

“I’m a bit at a loss, I won’t lie.

“My first memory of swimming is the Beijing Olympics. It has always been my life’s ambition, so it is amazing to get a medal.

“This is for my mom and dad. This is theirs and mine.

“I have made some great progress this year, but there is definitely more. I can’t wait to get back to the swimming pool.”
