Max Litchfield punched his ticket to the Rio Olympics with a third-ranked time in the men’s 400-meter IM at the 2016 British Nationals.

Litchfield won in 4:12.05, moving him to third in the world behind only Kosuke Hagino (4:08.90) and Thomas Fraser-Holmes (4:11.09). That time also cleared the super-tough British Olympic automatic qualifying time of 4:12.08.

Roberto Pavoni finished second in a time of 4:14.31 with Daniel Wallace taking third overall in 4:18.11.
