Three-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty says it would be a “100% yes” to the Los Angeles Games in 2028 if the 50m breaststroke is added as an event.<\/b><\/p>\n
Peaty, 29, was pipped to gold by 0.02 seconds in the 2024 100m breaststroke Olympic final<\/a> in Paris, after returning to the sport last autumn following a break because of issues with alcohol and his mental health.<\/p>\n In August, reports said World Aquatics has requested that the 50m breaststroke is added for the next Olympics, external<\/span><\/a> – an event which Peaty, who said he would “take a break”, external<\/span><\/a> but still train over the next two years, holds the world record in.<\/p>\n “World Aquatics are potentially putting forward to the Olympic committee about the 50m breaststroke sprint being in the Games,” Peaty told BBC Breakfast.<\/p>\n “If that happens it would be 100% yes, I am there – I am not sure when I will find out. <\/p>\n “I’m going to stay fit and I\u2019m going to train for two years, but I\u2019m going to take a break, put other things forward as a priority. I really enjoy public speaking now and motivating people.”<\/p>\n The only 50m race at the Olympics is the 50m freestyle.<\/p>\n Peaty, who also holds four of the five fastest times in history in the 50m breaststroke, broke his own world record twice at the 2017 World Aquatics Championships<\/a> in Budapest.<\/p>\n His world record time of 25.95 means he remains the only person to break 26 seconds in the event.<\/p>\n
