An emotional Adam Peaty shared a lovely moment with his family after winning silver Team GB star Adam Peaty shared a touching moment with his son George after a thrilling 100m breaststroke final at the Paris Olympics, in which he had to settle for silver. The 29-year-old world-record holder got off to a slow start at the Paris La Defense Arena but dragged himself back into contention with 50 meters remaining in the pool.
02 seconds Peaty said he had been suffering with a sore throat heading into the final, though was reluctant to use it as an ‘excuse’. ‘I had a curveball this morning with my throat and stuff. You can train eight years for something and not feel 100 per cent on a day. And 100 per cent costs you 0.02 and that’s just the way,’ he added. ‘But I don’t ever want that to be an excuse. That’s the cards I was dealt.
