British breaststroke swimmer Adam Peaty who is a three-time Olympic champion has been ruled out of the swimming World Championship due to a broken bone in the foot. The championship will take place next month and Peaty's injury will take months to heal.
I've fortunately never had to deal with an injury in my swimming career so this is a real blow and a new challenge for me," said the 27-year-old. I'm already in great hands and starting to recover but, honestly, I'm devastated. I work extremely hard and have dedicated my life to my training so I can be the absolute best I can be in the pool. I was on track for a huge summer so, like when anything doesn't go according to plan, it's a really challenging time."
