"I've given everything on this preparation and the most exciting thing is the future now," said Peaty.
"The next few months, we'll hopefully get this down because I know the World Championships is much more competitive.
"I want to be on top of that [Olympic] podium in two years' time."

Filip Nowacki, 18, finished second in the 100m breaststroke final on Tuesday night, clocking 59.39 seconds, just 0.42 seconds behind 31-year-old Peaty.

He told the BBC of his pride at being able to give Peaty "a proper race", after first competing against him in the 2024 GB Championships.

Nowacki competes in the 50m breaststroke final later, ahead of the 200m individual medley on Friday.
He will also race in the 200m breaststroke on Saturday.
