TOKYO, Aug 2 — British Olympic swimming star Adam Peaty said he had been under a “huge amount of pressure” as he explained his decision to join other top athletes in taking a mental health break.
The 26-year-old referred to the struggles of US gymnast Simone Biles and England cricketer Ben Stokes as he expanded on his move to take time away from the pool. “It isn’t a normal job,” Peaty tweeted Monday, suggesting he had received negative comments over his decision. “There is a huge amount of pressure. Money does not buy happiness.
Peaty will likely miss the upcoming International Swimming League as he focuses on a gruelling schedule next year that includes the world and European swimming championships as well as the Commonwealth Games.
