Zitat des Tages von Adam Peaty:
What's the worst that could happen? You're going to come second or lose? It's not like someone has got a gun to your head.
Just because I have two world records, everyone assumes that means automatically it is two guaranteed gold medals, but it isn't like that, and anything can happen in a race.
When I represent Team GB, I never give less than 100 per cent. It is an absolute honour.
I'm hugely patriotic.
I enjoy racing because I want to do it. No one's forcing me.
I think the rest of the world has a very wide, very slow kick. It's very simple, breaststroke. People think it's highly technical. But the more narrow, more effective and quicker you can execute it, the faster you are going to go. There's less drag, basically.
My family are massive fans of 'I'm A Celeb,' so that would be pretty cool. There's so many areas where you can go in and enjoy, but I just like meeting new people.
People make the mistake of thinking they've got to perform just because someone has said something about their potential.
I like the dark undertow of grime, and it gets me aggressive. You need that aggression.
This medal goes to show that you don't always have to have the best facilities, the best organisation, the best of everything to achieve.
I believe I can get faster because I have trained for it, and I'm doing faster times I've ever done in training.
Before competition, I start to question things. I don't know why it happens, but you've got to control it so you don't get too far out of the race.
For the last seven years, I have been racing the best in the world and making my way through the ranks. I am in that spot where I have got a real opportunity to produce something. I am not going to take it for granted because I know those guys will step it up.
It's great to see that kind of support online. For people to be messaging myself, my nan and the rest of my family, all the support has been great.
I still like to sit in a room and play games all day, so I'm a kid, really.
My coach and I thought I could swim a 57.3 if I executed the perfect race, but I did even better than that.
I love tuning into Radio 1 on a Friday night after training and hearing the new stuff.
Sometimes I still go round the house making weird noises and stuff, so in that aspect, I haven't grown up!
A lot of people put pressure on me, but I don't think I feel that type of pressure. It is more of a good thing that people are trying to do that.
I love the Royal Family and every aspect of Britain and what we have achieved in history.
Ever since I did that 57.9 last year, the Americans have been analysing me in detail. You can see on the swimming web pages. They are breaking it down in every detail. How many strokes I take. How quick I am in and out of the wall.
Seeing that flag means so much: I am inspired by my Queen, my country.
Kids are always going to be around people who break world records and that. It's how you deal with that. I never let it get in the way of my race, but I am always more than happy after the race to sign autographs and have photos.
It hasn't always been a sweet ride. When I was 15, I almost hated racing in finals because I was so nervous. But as I got more experienced, I had to choose between fight and flight - and I've fought every time.
Every day I try to push the boundaries, and it's paid off.
I've made sure I am working hard enough to get that lead and keep it there.
Biceps for show, triceps for go.
I'm going into my first Olympics, whereas people I'm racing against are going into their third and fourth and probably last Olympics. So there's more pressure on them to perform. I've still got a whole future ahead of me. I am not even the Olympic champ.
I went 59.9 sec. when I was 18 and thought, 'Hmm, that was fast - let's see how much faster we can go and what the rest of the world can do to keep up.'
