☆ Chalmers hopes speaking out about mental health helps younger athletes

April 22 (Reuters) - Olympic gold medallist swimmer Kyle Chalmers said he hopes that by speaking out about his struggles over mental health he can inspire the next generation to follow suit. Chalmers, who won Olympic 100 metres freestyle gold in Rio as a teenager and took silver in Tokyo in 2021, took a mental health break last year after a row about his decision to race at the world championships. Last month, triple Olympic breaststroke champion Adam Peaty, Chalmers's friend, said he would skip the British swimming championships to focus on his mental health. Asked if his open discussions about mental health may have influenced other swimmers like Peaty, Chalmers told Sydney's Daily Telegraph: "I'd like to hope so." Chalmers will next set his sights on this year's world swimming championships, which are scheduled to take place in Fukuoka, Japan, from July 14 to 30.
