Overview

  • Peaty will pursue four medals at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics by entering the 50m and 100m breaststroke along with both mixed and men’s 4x100m medley relays.
  • The International Olympic Committee confirmed in April that the 50m breaststroke will debut in the LA 2028 programme, opening a new sprint event for specialist contenders.
  • He withdrew from the 2025 World Championships and is following a light training regimen, including Pilates, to restore his peak performance.
  • Peaty has outlined a build-up that includes the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and next year’s European Championships to secure his selections and sharpen his readiness.
  • Motivated by the chance to beat the United States on their home turf, he regards the medley relays as central to Team GB’s ambitions in Los Angeles.
