I suffered through three years of hell and didn’t want to see a pool again before Olympic qualification, says Adam Peaty
In the post, he explained: "Six weeks ago my life experienced a profound change as I was diagnosed with three brain tumours."
He continued: "The seizures grew in intensity and frequency in the lead up to the 2024 Olympic trials in April, something I’d aimed for and trained for almost my entire life."I narrowly missed the Olympic team by just a few tenths of a second, placing 3rd in an event with only 2 spots."With the trials behind me I dug deeper into what was really causing these attacks. An MRI in May finally revealed what I’d began to fear the most.
