Daniel Wiffen plans to “go and party for three days” after completing his Olympics with a gruelling 10km marathon swim in the Seine on Friday morning.

A gold and bronze medallist in the pool at these Games, he took on the Open Water swim to tick a number of boxes: become a ‘dual sport’ Olympian, get his picture with the Eiffel Tower in the background, and maybe even grab another medal.
