Ariarne Titmus said that it was redemption on Thursday while reflecting on Australia’s win in the women’s Olympic 4-200m freestyle relay, a race conducted in the second-best time ever recorded.
Swimming on the last relay, with O’Callaghan starting, Pallister and Throssell as Middae legs, and Titmus in the last leg, the Australian team claimed this record with a time of 7:38. 08. Coming in second was the United States with 7:40. 86 led by Katie Ledecky; the third were the dysfunctional champions of the event, the China team, with 7:42. 34.
This win was sweet for the Australians especially after they were pipped to the post by China who both Australia and USA least expected to set a new world record.
“It was really fun”, Titmus, who also won the 400m title and was runner-up in the 200m final to O’Callaghan, commented. “Of course, Tokyo was not the desired outcome and I was not satisfied with my performance in the relay in Tokyo know I felt like I had a task to lift up this team I felt like I had a part to play in this team, and try to do the best possible job for them And I think I did that tonight. ”
Titmus divulged that she was satisfied with her team’s confidence in her to cement the relay win. “At least they believed in me and placed me last hoping to finish the job I am grateful to be up there on the Podium with the girls. ”
The race was fast from the start and O’Callaghan swam for Australia a time of 1:53. 52. Thus, Titmus finished the victory with an incredible 1:52. 95, putting the USA and China into deep waters. Only their world record set in the 2023 World Championships topped what they did at the La Defense Arena.
“It was great to swim with these girls today,” commented O’Callaghan This is an honor and always a pleasure to swim for Australia. “I have not many things to say because my mind is somewhat wandering and I am just too thrilled. ”
