The British team reported that the two-time Olympic 100 breaststroke champion in Rio’16 and Tokyo’20 Adam Peaty He tested positive for COVID a day after missing out on a third straight gold by two hundred in his best attempt at the Paris Olympic Games.
The legendary Bracista explained that he woke up feeling bad on Sunday, although he did not want to use it as a reason to lose the gold against the Italian Martinenghi. Peaty struggled to speak after the race, his throat hoarse.
“In the hours after the final, his symptoms worsened and he was tested for COVID early on Monday morning. At that time he tested positive,” the UK delegation said in a statement.
“Hopefully he will return to competition for the relay events later in the swimming program.”
“As with any case of illness, the situation is being handled appropriately and all usual precautions are being taken to keep the entire delegation healthy,” the note added.
