Sam Williamson upset the three-time Olympic gold medallist to claim one of Australia's five golds from six events in the pool.World champion over 50m in Doha two years ago, Williamson edged a thrilling finale in the event of day two of the Games to win in 59.17 secs.Rising star Filip Nowacki also beat out Ramsay-Peaty to secure silver and Jersey's first Commonwealth medal for 36 years.Ramsay-Peaty was aiming to become the first English swimmer to win gold in four different Commonwealth Games.But with his wife Holly Ramsay, daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, watching on he fell short in his strongest event.With the couple expecting their first child together, Ramsay-Peaty hinted he could consider his future in the sport rather than go for a fourth Olympic Games in Los Angeles."You go through so many highs and lows in this sport. I'll have to really think about the 100 metres because it requires a lot of work," he said."To get near to where I was is going to require absolutely everything. Is that formula the right formula when I’m going to be a father of two? I don't think so."I've really got to think on that and see where my family is. It's too early to tell there."The 31-year-old will have another shot at gold in the 50m breaststroke final on Monday.
