LONDON (Reuters) - Triple world champion Adam Peaty booked his place at the Rio Games by winning the 100 metres breaststroke at the British Olympic trials in Glasgow in a time of 58.41 seconds on Tuesday.

The mark, if nowhere near the 21-year-old's own world record of 57.92 that he set at the same national championships last year, was faster than August's world championship-winning time of 58.52.
