BRODIE Williams, who hails from Street, is one of 28 swimmers to be selected by the British Olympic Association (BOA), to represent Team GB at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games this summer.
Four swimmers - Adam Peaty, Duncan Scott, James Wilby and Luke Greenbank - had already been selected for the Games, and 22-year-old Williams is among the 24 to be named in the second phase of selection, after last week’s British Swimming Selection Trials.
