Peaty confirmed 12 months ago he wanted to push for a place at the next Games, shortly after it was announced that the 50m breaststroke event would be added to the schedule.<\/p>\n
It gives the Briton a further opportunity to win individual golds, having done so in the 100m in 2016 and 2021.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, double Olympic champion Duncan Scott, 28, held off a strong challenge from Edward Mildred to win the 200m butterfly.<\/p>\n
Lauren Cox, who won 100m backstroke gold at the 2025 European Championships, finished clear of Blythe Kinsman to win the same discipline in London.<\/p>\n
Three-time Paralympic champion Alice Tai had to settle for second, finishing behind Bethany Firth, in the women’s MC 100m backstroke.<\/p>\n
Other winners included 17-year-old Amelie Blocksidge in the 1500m freestyle, Max Litchfield in the 400m medley and Amalie Smith, 16, in the 400m medley.<\/p>\n
British titles will be awarded in 36 medal events across the meet in London this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
