Adam Peaty may not have taken home the gold medal he was hoping for at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but the British swimmer expressed that he felt he had "already won" after making it to his fourth Olympic final on Sunday.
"In my heart I have won. These are happy tears," he expressed, holding back his emotions after taking home the silver medal. Hours later, the swimmer tested positive for Covid-19, putting his appearance in the mixed and men's 4x100m medley relay events hanging in the pipeline.
As the three-time Olympic champion gears up for another chance at winning gold in the 100m medley relay, he'll no doubt have spent the week powering through a disciplined training regime and extraordinary diet to ensure he's at peak performance.
Adam, 29, previously revealed he hits around 7,500-8000 calories when he's training - almost four times the recommended daily allowance for an adult male.

Come lunch time, this Olympian needs to pack in more high protein foods and calories to fuel several more hours of training.
While his go-to is chicken and rice with vegetables, he'll also opt for staples like sweet potato, chicken or fish, wholemeal toast and protein shakes, "which he typically drinks as a post workout meal and before bed," per Men's Health.
