Every athlete needs a fan like #OlympicNan
British swimmer Adam Peaty's proud grandmother is a social media champion
Every athlete should have a fan as devoted as #OlympicNan.
The grandmother of British swimmer Adam Peaty has become a champion tweeter as she gushes about his achievements.
With a Twitter biography that describes herself as "Proud Nan to a World Champion Breaststroker," she's quickly gaining followers who use the word "adorable" to describe her passion for Peaty.
When he broke the world record in the 100 metre breaststroke, his granny tweeted: "What race oooo I'm so proud he's a gladiator well done," and stamped it with the nation's flag.
Williams told the BBC on Sunday that she was alone during the race and that she "screamed for him. But my neighbour didn't mind."
She says "since I have been going to watch Adam it's given me a new life."
