Three-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty made a first step towards a fourth Games in Los Angeles by winning the 100m breaststroke at the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships in London.

Peaty and Nowacki confirmed their places on the GB team heading to Paris for this summer's European Aquatics Championships with their results.
Peaty's time was the second best in the world this year, external, suggesting that his time at the top could continue yet as he targets the 2028 Olympics.
"We've got some talented youngsters coming through the pool," he said.
"I'm not talking about this year, it's about LA for me, and these boys are going to challenge me the whole way."
It is almost a year since Peaty, who got married while swimming took a back seat, confirmed he will go again.

British titles will be awarded in 36 medal events across the meet in London this week.
