BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Champion swimmer Adam Peaty is planning a reset after the Commonwealth Games in hopes of regaining his best form for the Paris Games in 2024. The reigning Olympic champion and world record holder in the 100-meter breaststroke was devastated to miss a medal in the event in a major upset on Sunday night. It was the first time the 27-year-old Englishman has been beaten in eight years and also the only major final he has lost in the event. He says he’s asking himself “How can I maximize these next two seasons to potentially do what I need to do in Paris?”
