Paris Olympic silver medalist Adam Peaty says his Christian faith has made him ‘a new man.’

Widely considered ‘the greatest men's breaststroke swimmer in history,’ as the official Olympics website states, Peaty ‘boasts three Olympic gold medals, eight world titles, and a string of world records in the 50m and 100m breaststroke events.’

He has now added to that tally a silver medal in the 100m final at Paris on Sunday evening. Speaking to the BBC afterwards, Peaty alluded to the fact that he was 'a very religious man' with 'faith in God.'
