Peaty will have little time to get ready for the July 28- Aug. 8 Games after his time in a protective boot is over.

” That isn’t being conceited– I am simply positive. I understand I have the physical fitness, I understand I have the background, I understand I have 17 years of hardcore training behind me. It is almost whether I can get those feet up in regards to strategy.
