World record holder Ariarne Titmus sent a message to her rivals Katie Ledecky and Summer McIntosh on Friday ahead of the Paris Olympics by posting the fastest 400m freestyle of the year. The reigning Olympic champion went under the four-minute mark during the Australian championships, organized on the Gold Coast, with a time of 3'59''13, she who is undefeated over the distance since 2019. Lani Pallister finished second with a personal best of 4'1''75, a promising time ahead of the Australian Olympic Trials in June.
Titmus dominated American Ledecky in a thrilling final at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, then broke the latter's world record in 2022, before Canadian teenager McIntosh bettered her mark last year. The Australian responded by recovering the world record a few months later, and the expected clash between the three stars in Paris promises to be a great spectacle with great suspense.
“It's a good sign,” said Titmus, who is preparing to compete in the 200-400-800m hat-trick again in France. She won gold in the 200m and 400m in Tokyo where she also took silver behind Ledecky in the 800m. “I'm just trying to think about what I expect of myself and what I hope to do in Paris,” she emphasized after her race. “I know a lot of people are cheering for me and I'm just trying to use that in the best way possible,” added the 23-year-old, who clocked four of the six fastest times in swim history. 400m swimming.
