World records have tumbled and gold medals won but the colourful array of tattoos on show at the FINA world swimming championships have eye-catching. US champ Adam Peaty's grandmother [right] has now copied his famous lion tattoo on her arm.

Britain's Peaty [above] had a large tattoo of a lion inked onto his left shoulder after winning the Olympic 100m breaststroke title at Rio 2016. "The tattoo is more about training for me. It reminds me of the hard work I put in to win in Rio," said Peaty, adding that his wheelchair-bound grandmother, Mavis Williams', 74, temporary tattoo is delightful. "That was crazy, I actually thought she had had a proper tattoo done. I thought 'oh my God, what has she done, but she loves it," said Peaty.
