Great Britain claimed bronze in the 4x100m mixed medley relay at the World Championships in Doha.

The British quartet of Medi Harris, Adam Peaty, Matthew Richards and Anna Hopkin finished third in a time of three minutes 40.22 seconds.

The result also secured a relay quota spot for this summer’s Paris Games.

“It is kudos to the team at how well we can stick together and still be in the medals when we are against some very, very solid teams,” said Peaty.

“Not that we aren’t one, it’s just not our priority right now to be in that peak condition that we’ll hopefully be in for Paris.

“It’s always great to be a part of Team Great Britain.”

The United States took gold by more than three seconds from second-placed Australia.

Peaty earlier missed out on another podium when coming fourth in the men’s 50m breaststroke, while Richards reached the men’s 100m freestyle final.

Three-time Olympic champion Peaty, 29, also took bronze in the 100m breaststroke on Monday.

Peaty and Hopkin were part of Team GB’s 4x100m mixed medley team that won gold and broke the world record at the Tokyo Olympics.

“Britain has had a really good mixed medley relay for quite a few years now, so it’s always good to be on a podium at the world stage,” said Hopkin.

“Hopefully, come Paris, we want to retain our Olympic title and we all want to be on this relay.”

Britain has won one gold, three silver and eight bronze medals at the World Aquatics Championships so far.

Elsewhere, Daniel Wiffen made history by becoming Ireland’s first world swimming champion with victory in the 800m freestyle final.

The 22-year-old claimed gold in a time of 7:40:94 ahead of Australia’s Elijah Winnington and Italy’s Gregorio Paltrinieri.

Duncan Scott breezed through to Thursday’s final of the men’s 200m medley, finishing first in his semi-final draw before qualifying third overall.

Laura Stephens made it through to the final of the women’s 200m butterfly in third.

In the women’s 50m backstroke, Lauren Cox qualified for Thursday’s final in second but Kathleen Dawson just missed out on a second individual final in Doha, finishing 12th.
