"The catering isn’t good enough for the level the athletes are expected to perform," Peaty told U.K.’s iNews. "We need to give the best we possibly can. Tokyo the food was incredible. Rio was incredible. But this time around? There wasn’t enough protein options, long queues, waiting 30 minutes for food because there’s no queueing system."

Peaty added that the Paris Games’ hopes of being as sustainable as possible has affected the food. The Guardian reported that 60% of the meals served are meatless and at least 33% plant-based.

"I like my fish and people are finding worms in the fish. It’s just not good enough. The standard, we’re looking at the best of the best in the world, and we’re not feeding them the best," he added.
