The 14-year-old swam a time of 1:57.38 minutes in the 200m freestyle at the London Aquatics Centre to come top of the podium before coming fourth in the 400m individual medley later in the day.

To add to the gold medal, Walton also went below 1:58 in the 200m freestyle for the first time to claim a new personal best.

And the John Henry Newman School pupil could barely hide his delight at what was a very successful day in the water.

I feel really good actually, obviously getting a gold medal is really nice but to also get a personal best is a really good thing for me, he said.
