He says nothing will distract him from going for the gold, be it covidual or logistical issues. He said, "You can't let anything affect you in sport."

Peaty, who has become a new father, said: "To be here and go through the whole process of being a part of Team GB.
"It is one of the most prestigious and exciting things you can do.
"Nothing can divert me from what I need to achieve. You cannot allow anything to affect you."
Peaty, who became the most successful British swimmer at a World Championships in Budapest in 2017 after claiming a fifth world title, said he knows what competition is like and how he plans to compete.
He said: "I know what competition is like internationally, but I want to solidify my position in the 100 meter breaststroke, then we will focus on the relay and how we can solidify ourselves."
