As Australia held its collective breath for Jess Fox in the K1 Olympic final, one man could be excused for riding every heartstopping twist in the whitewater more than most.

But listening to her father Richard in the Nine commentary box, you'd never know it.

His expert call alongside Dave Culbert was delivered with a steely composure befitting his now two-time gold medallist daughter.

Great Britain swimmer Adam Peaty has broken down in tears in a BBC interview after clinching a joint-silver medal in the 100m breaststroke final.

Peaty touched the wall second at the same time as Nik Fink of America, achingly behind the winner Nicolò Martinenghi.

"It doesn't matter what the time says … in my heart I've already won, because …" he said before breaking down.

The commentator stepped in, referencing Peaty's young son — who the swimmer has often talked about as his motivation — saying he would be proud of his dad.

"I'm not crying because I've come second," Peaty went on. "I'm crying because it just took so much to get here."

"It's just incredibly hard, to win it once, and to win it again, and to win it again. And trying to find new ways to do it.

"Everything up until this point has happened for a reason, and I'm just so happy I can race the best of the world … (get) joint second.

"It's not crying because I got second or I lost or whatever, in my heart I've won. These are happy tears."

Ariarne Titmus touches the wall first ahead of countrywoman Mollie O'Callaghan in their 200m freestyle semi.

"We are set up for a blockbuster final," Nine caller Mat Thompson says.

They will square off in the final on Tuesday morning (AEST).

Ariarne Titmus and Mollie O'Callaghan are about to dive in the 200m freestyle semis.

Stay tuned.

The 100m breakstroke has a dead heat ... for silver.

Nicolò Martinenghi is the winner with Giaan Rooney stating "what an upset" on Nine's coverage.

Then it's Adam Peaty and Nic Fink sharing the silver medal.

"What a race," caller Mat Thompson added.

Australian swimming champion Emma McKeon fell short of the medals in her final Olympic race as an individual and broke down in tears during a pool-side interview.

No Australian has won as many Olympic medals as McKeon, who's hauled in 12 including six golds, but the 30-year-old finished sixth in the women's 100m butterfly in Paris on Monday morning (AEST).

Read all about it here.

Emma McKeon has battled to fight back tears after finishing her individual Olympics career with a sixth in the 100m butterfly.

"I've tried not to think about it too much before, it's just emotional," she told Nine.

"I definitely hoped that would've been better but I know I've got a lot to be proud of. It's always going to be emotional finishing something that's brought me so much joy."

Max Giuliani is a chance at gold.

The 21-year-old will race tomorrow morning and finishing third in the semi.

Jess Fox has described what it was like watching her friend Ricarda Funk race in the final of the women's kayak.

Funk was looking like she could beat Fox's time until she was given a 50-second penalty.

"It was a long wait and I had to sit there with the camera in my face as I was going through the nerves and emotions and at the end," she told Nine.

"I felt sick because she is a friend, you want your friends to do well and put down a good run but be a little bit slower than you. I was heartbroken when I saw she was given the penalty.

"To actually realise in that moment that I had the gold medal, Olympic champion, all the emotions and tears came out. I got to hug mum and my sister was there and the whole team. It was really emotional because the crowd was just amazing today.

"So many Aussies in the crowd, I had friends and family here but there were so many others. Incredible energy and those people who woke up in the middle of the night back home, thank you because that also helped, your positive energy."
