Meet Eva Okaro, a 17-year-old swimming sensation who made history as the first black woman to compete for Team GB in the 4x100m freestyle relay. This article delves into her journey to the Olympics, her training regimen, and her aspirations beyond the pool.
Former world 1,500m champion Jake Wightman has been forced to withdraw from the Olympics due to a hamstring injury. He was set to compete in the 800m but will be replaced by Elliot Giles. Wightman has struggled to regain his top form after a torn calf muscle sidelined him earlier this year.
Team GB athletes at the Paris Olympics are reportedly skipping meals at the Olympic Village due to concerns about food quality and quantity, opting instead for packed lunches from a separate performance center. This includes athletes like Tom Dean, who consumes up to 7,000 calories a day, with a focus on high-protein meals and porridge as a popular breakfast choice.
