Titmus leads at every turn to win by almost a second and beat rivals in 400m freestyle battle for the ages in Paris
. Since 2018, Australian middle-distance swim star Ariarne Titmus has not lost a 400m freestyle final at an international race.
Having defended her Tokyo 400m crown, the Tasmania-born swimmer became the first Australian woman since Dawn Fraser to defend an individual Olympic title in the pool. Less than an hour later, the Australian women’s relay team continued the golden evening for the Dolphins with an emphatic victory in the 4x100m freestyle. It is an event Australia has won at every Olympics since Beijing 2008, and they showed no sign of losing their crown. The Australian quartet touched ahead at every changeover, before Emma McKeon anchored the team to victory and an Olympic record over a fast-closing China.
A good result it was – continuing a proud Australian tradition in a race that was once synonymous with the legendary Ian Thorpe.
