Adam Peaty: podcast appearances and interviews

Adam George Ramsay-Peaty is an English competitive swimmer specializing in sprint breaststroke events. He gained international recognition by winning the gold medal in the 100 metre breaststroke at the 2016 Summer Olympics, which marked the first Olympic gold for a male British swimmer in 24 years. He successfully retained this title at the 2020 Summer Olympics in 2021, becoming the first British swimmer to do so. Peaty has achieved exceptional success in major international championships, earning eight World Championship titles, sixteen European Championship titles, and four Commonwealth Championship titles. From 2014 to 2020, he demonstrated dominance in the 100 metre breaststroke in long-course meets and nearly dominated the 50 metre breaststroke, with only occasional interruptions by Cameron van der Burgh. Recognized by FINA as the most dominant breaststroke swimmer of his era and potentially of all time, Peaty holds world records in both the 50 metre and 100 metre breaststroke events. He has broken 14 world records, including being the first man to swim the 50 metre breaststroke in under 26 seconds and the first to go under 58 and under 57 seconds in the 100 metre breaststroke. He is the first swimmer to win both sprint breaststroke events at the same World Championships and is the most successful British swimmer at a single World Championships. Peaty is among a select group of British swimmers to have won gold medals at all four major international events, and with David Wilkie, he is one of the only athletes to hold all four major gold medals in the same event simultaneously. He has been named European swimmer of the year six times consecutively from 2014 to 2019 and has received the World swimmer of the year award twice.
