Three-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty took a significant step towards his fourth Olympic Games in Los Angeles by clinching the 100m breaststroke title at the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships in London. Peaty, 31, overcame stiff competition from teenagers Filip Nowacki and Max Morgan, finishing with an impressive time of 58.97 seconds.

• Filip Nowacki finished second in 59.39 seconds.
• Max Morgan achieved a personal best, securing third place with 59.56 seconds.

Both Peaty and Nowacki solidified their spots on the GB team for the upcoming European Aquatics Championships in Paris this summer with their performances. Peaty's time ranks as the second best in the world this year, indicating that his dominance in the sport may continue as he eyes the 2028 Olympics.

It has been nearly a year since Peaty, who took a break from swimming to focus on his marriage, announced his return to competitive swimming. His decision was influenced by the inclusion of the 50m breaststroke event in the 2028 schedule, providing him with an opportunity to win more individual gold medals, adding to the 100m titles he secured in 2016 and 2021.

The championships in London feature 36 medal events, with other notable winners on Tuesday night including James Guy in the 400m, Imogen Clark in the 50m breaststroke, and Eva Okaro in the 100m freestyle.
