Adam Peaty hails father-in-law Gordon Ramsay as inspiration with focus on 2028 Olympics

• Swimmer: ‘I take a lot of guidance. I look up to him a lot’

• Peaty married Ramsay’s daughter Holly in December

Olympic champion Adam Peaty has hailed father-in-law Gordon Ramsay as his inspiration as he turned his thoughts towards the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The 31-year-old almost quit swimming just before the 2024 Games in Paris and then again straight afterwards, but confirmed he would compete in 2028 after the 50m breaststroke was added to the schedule. Peaty, who is back in action at the British Championships this week, admitted the next two years were going to be “the hardest of my career”, but took guidance from TV chef Ramsay.
