Chalmers has dominated the British 400m hurdles scene this decade – winning each national title since 2020.
He also won Guernsey’s first-ever athletics medal at the Commonwealth Games when he won bronze in Birmingham two years ago.
The event is one of the most competitive in all of athletics with Karsten Warholm, Rai Benjamin and Alison dos Santos, who occupy the top three spots on the all-time list, all competing for medals in Paris this summer.
“This is by far the greatest generation of all time,” Chalmers added.
“We’ve got world records being broken, standards have risen just to compete in competitions.
“I think if you asked people five years ago, if you would say the world record can be 45.9 no one would ever believe you.
“That’s why it’s it’s difficult to be a part of, it’s an absolute pleasure to run alongside the best in the world, but the standard’s just through the roof.”
He added: “I definitely feel like I am in that world-class bracket.
“I can run these times, I’ve shown I can, and compete against the best.
“But at the end of the day when you’re on that start line, it comes down to not just your ability to run, but your mentality to get in that zone, execute a good race, and rise up to the occasion.”
