Team Great Britain swimmer Adam Peaty says that Olympians have found worms in their food during the 2024 Paris Games.

Peaty, who last week tied with Team USA's Nic Fink for the silver in the 100-meter breaststroke, told James Gray of Britain's iNews that food quality has been impacted by organizers' promises to increase sustainability by serving more plant-based meals.
