Welsh swimmers Matt Richards, Medi Harris and Daniel Jervis have all secured their places at the Paris Olympics.

They did so after their performances at the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships in London.

Harris, 21, has secured her place as part of the women’s 4x200m women’s freestyle relay after finishing third in the individual race, behind Freya Colbert and Abbie Wood.

Harris, Wood, Colbert and Lucy Hope, who finished fourth, combined to win silver at the World Aquatics Championships in Doha in February and will hope to go one better in Paris.

Jervis secured his place at Paris on day three of the championships with a dominant display in the Men’s 1500m freestyle.

His time in winning gold – 14.47.94 – was almost six and a half seconds under the Olympic qualifying time and he will be booking his flight or Eurostar to Paris.

Speaking after the race Jervis said: “I was probably the most nervous I’ve ever been.”

“This is probably the best moment of my swimming career. I’ve got an amazing support network with my family, friends and my partner here.

“What a moment so thank you very much I could see you all.

“It was really nice to see my dad sat just there, my parents have been there for me since literally the day I was born and I’m very fortunate and blessed to have them.”

Jervis added: “The last few months I’ve really found training hard. I’m 27, not 18 anymore, training sessions hurt me now.”

“To be honest, whatever we’re doing in training clearly has worked, I wouldn’t be here without my coach and other coaches and team in Swansea.”

Jervis won Bronze at the commonwealth games in Glasgow in 2014 and Silver four years later at the Gold Coast and seemed over the moon to have booked his place at Paris.

However, it was later in the day when the real fireworks were set to fly in the Men’s 100m freestyle.

Matt Richards MBE aged just 21 was up against double Olympic Champion Tom Dean and Duncan Scott who became the first British athlete to win four medals at an Olympic Games with his gold and three silvers at Tokyo 2020.

All three had combined with James Guy to win 4x200m freestyle gold at Tokyo when Richards was just 18.

Dean also won individual gold at the games in the 200m whilst Richards won gold at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka in the same event, along with helping the team to 4x200m gold.

In the 100m at the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships, Richards stormed to gold, pipping Scott to another British title and finishing within the Olympic qualifying time, securing his place at the Paris Olympics.

In doing so, he also secured his place in the 4x100m team alongside Scott, Dean and Alexander Cohoon.

“I couldn’t ask for a better way to start the week than that,” said Richards after the race.

“It’s a great result for me personally but also for all the boys and bodes really well for the 4×100 team in the Summer.”

With the 200m Freestyle final set for Sunday, expect more fireworks as all try to push each other to further success.
