• The final qualification places will be awarded in London’s Aquatics Centre, where the men’s 50m breaststroke and women’s 50m backstroke events will serve as Olympic qualifiers.

• “Each city has an outstanding sporting pedigree and Olympic heritage and therefore offers a fitting stage to determine the qualifiers for 50m events newly-introduced onto the Olympic programme for LA28,” said World Aquatics President Husain Al Musallam.
