Adam Peaty qualifies fastest for 100m breaststroke final
Staffordshire swimming sensation Adam Peaty fired a warning to his rivals by qualifying fastest for Sunday’s 100 metre breaststroke final at Paris 2024.
The 29-year-old, seeking to become only the second male swimmer to ever win three Olympic titles in the same event, won the first semi-final in a time of 58.86.
His biggest rival, China’s Qin Haiyang, won the second semi-final but in a slower time than the GB ace.
Peaty arrived at the Games something of an unknown quantity having overcome a difficult period outside the pool.
