They didn’t heal his relationships, bring peace of mind or help him become the person he wanted to be.’

Cath Bishop, author of The Long Win 2nd ed, contributed the article ‘Adam Peaty’s Olympic spirit shows winning does not mean coming first’ to The Guardian.

‘Think about what you want to be remembered for on and off the track: who do you want to be when the nerves kick in and the pressure ramps up, when luck falls with or against you, when your teammates call on you to step up? The answer doesn’t need to be some all‑conquering hero, simply the best version of you drawing on your incredible strengths, ready to write the next chapter of your own journey that’s led to this point.’
