From Georgia Bell and Tom Daley to Adam Peaty, some Olympic athletes have made a successful comeback at the Paris games after taking a break.
There comes a time in every sportsperson's career when retiring feels like the right choice. But it seems, if you're a former member of Team GB, there's every chance you might just change your mind. Take middle-distance runner Georgia Bell for example. She went to the US on a track scholarship but when she wasn't getting any faster, decided to quit after graduating and get a job.
Triple Olympic champion swimmer Adam Peaty, 29, also returned to the pool to win silver in the 100m breaststroke following a break from the sport after struggling with his mental health. Then there's two-time Olympic champion Helen Glover, 38. The rower has retired not once but twice. But the mum of three was back in Paris to win silver, having kept herself super-fit, saying she's in the best shape of her life.
