Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus produces a breathtaking performance at the Fukuoka World Aquatics Championships, joining Sam Short by winning gold on night one of the swimming program.
abc.net.au/news/world-aquatics-championships-ariarne-titmus-sam-short/102637542Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus has reclaimed the world record in the women's 400 metres freestyle in Fukuoka, winning gold on night one of the swimming program.
Australia's night was soured, however, with Kaylee McKeown — who won both individual backstroke events at the Tokyo Olympics — disqualified in the women's 200m individual medley semifinals. Four-time world champion in the event, Katie Ledecky of the United States, took silver, more than three seconds adrift of Titmus in 3:58.73.
