Peaty, 29, from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, won silver in the 100m breaststroke final in Paris.
The mother of Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty has spoken about the “brutal” training and major sacrifices such athletes put themselves through.
“I don’t think people realise how much sacrifice each of the swimmers have to go through, what the toll is on the body,” she said. Peaty's silver medal in Paris brings the 29-year-old's remarkable Olympics tally across his career to three golds and three silvers.
