Training is going well, and I\u2019m itching to get back to marathon racing. It\u2019s pretty wild to be heading to my second World Champs and for a shot at Olympic qualification.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough my five or so years of injury and illness, I thought I had lost my shot at the Olympic dream, so I\u2019m incredibly grateful and excited for this second chance! I\u2019ll give it my all \u2013 and it\u2019s cool that we have a team of four at the worlds this time too.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Completing the Doha-bound GB outfit is Robinson, whose last World Championship outing came in Budapest in 2022 and who will be looking for a strong start to 2024 at his fourth Worlds in a GB cap.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am hugely excited and well-prepared for the upcoming World Championships. This race will determine a world champion but also allocates selection spots for the Olympic Games this summer, so it makes this one of the most important of my career.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My winter training has gone spectacularly well so far, which gives me huge confidence in getting a great result in Doha.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>British Swimming Performance Pathway and Distance

those Paris 2024 quota places.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese athletes were selected on the back of some strong swims in Madeira just before Christmas, with Hector and Amber having already met the selection criteria after their impressive performances at the last World Championships in Fukuoka.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Each one of these swimmers has moved on both their experience and performance levels in the marathon events over the past season, and we know they are preparing excellently for what is a huge set of races next month.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs ever, the quality of the
