Adam Peaty has revealed he will take a short break from swimming after the Olympics to refresh and protect his mental health – referencing the struggles of Simone Biles and Ben Stokes.
The British swimmer, who has won two gold medals and one silver in Tokyo, had already said he was likely to skip the International Swimming League season, which starts at the end of this month.
But following life in the Olympic bubble, Peaty plans to relax with his family and take time out before beginning his preparations for next year’s World Championships and then Paris 2024.
