Adam Peaty: Three-time Olympic champion says winning gold medals will not solve problems
"A good friend of mine said a gold medal is the coldest thing you will ever wear," Peaty told BBC Breakfast.Peaty, who still intends to compete at next year's Olympic Games in Paris, has said his depression and problems with alcohol worsened last year as he struggled with injury, motivation and the breakdown of his relationship with the mother of his young son.
Peaty won two golds and a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, and a gold and a silver at Rio in 2016 Despite the success and his world record being nearly a full second quicker than anyone else has ever swum, Peaty says he hears voices in his head which often make him doubt his swimming abilities.
"As athletes our brains are wired a little bit differently, we're constantly chasing reward and if we can see that reward we will work extremely hard for that reward," Peaty said.
