Maisie ready for a top-class Games!

The 22-year-old will defend her SB6 100m breaststroke and SM6 200m medley titles in the French capital following an A* performance on debut in Tokyo.

After those Games, Summers-Newton enrolled on a full-time teaching course at Northampton University and will graduate in November after receiving her results earlier this summer.

Yet she will not be swapping the pool for the classroom any time soon, having chalked up multiple world titles and Commonwealth gold during the past two years.

“It’s been quite intense but I’m someone who loves being busy and I’ve been able to have that life outside of sport, which is really important,” said Summers-Newton, who competes in the 100m today.
