Adam Peaty is among the first four swimmers to be confirmed in the Great Britain team for this summer’s re-scheduled Tokyo Olympics.
The defending champion and world-record holder is joined by Duncan Scott, James Wilby and Luke Greenbank in qualifying for the Games as a direct consequence of a change in British Swimming’s selection policy.
All four have booked their tickets to the Japanese capital by virtue of having won individual medals at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships in Gwangju.

Hoàng, 20, is the only Vietnamese swimmer to have secured two slots to compete in Japan’s event in the men’s 800m freestyle and 1,500m freestyle.
“Hoàng is set to reach the top 12 in the Olympics. However, I see that he has a chance to reach the top eight (final round). This is difficult but it will be a historical achievement if he gains this. The training staff, Hoàng and myself, will try to complete his goal,” said Hoàng s coach, Chinese national Huang Gouhui.
