Olympians find worms in food: This is not what top athletes deserve

(Patria) - Olympian Adam Peaty has revealed shocking facts about the food offered to athletes at the Paris Olympics.

The British athlete revealed that athletes found "worms in fish", presenting a different side of catering in Paris.

"The catering is not good enough for the level expected of athletes. We have to give our best," he said.

Peaty pointed out that in Tokyo and Rio the food was incredible, but this time there were not enough protein options, and there were long queues and waiting for food.

"I want to eat meat, I need meat to perform and that's what I eat at home, why should I change my habits? People have found worms in fish. It's simply not good enough," he stated.

The athlete added that "we are looking at the best of the best in the world, and we are feeding them improperly".

Peaty was declared one of the biggest medal hopes for the British team going to Paris 2024, but he finished only second in the 100m breaststroke, a discipline in which he had been almost invincible for years, writes "Daily Mail", as reported by "b92".
