Britain's defending Olympic breaststroke champion Adam Peaty says he is happy being the "underdog" as he continues his comeback at Paris 2024 this summer.
He returned to the pool in October 2023 and took bronze at this year's World Championships in February, before winning the British title in April with the fastest swim of the year. "For me, going into these Games and especially these last 12 months, I've enjoyed being the person with the bow and arrow and not the one being fired at," he said.
"I'm OK with that because I've been the underdog and I enjoy being an underdog, I enjoy fighting my way through the rounds."The three-time Olympic champion has also won eight World Championship gold medals, 17 European titles and four golds at the Commonwealth Games in a glittering career.
