Peaty will turn 30 next month and is currently taking a break from swimming after winning his sixth Olympic medal in Paris this summer, a silver in the 100 metres breaststroke. Fortune was not on his side, with Peaty beginning to feel unwell on the day of the race before testing positive for Covid-19 the following morning.
Nearly four months on he remains sanguine about the circumstances, telling the PA news agency: "There's not really much you can dwell on. I did the best with the cards I was dealt.
"I'm a very positive person most of the time so there's not too much thinking 'what if, because it doesn't change the outcome and it doesn't change the fact that I could still give my best effort and get an Olympic silver."
