MELBOURNE : Two months on from Summer McIntosh's world record swims, Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus will have a chance to respond to the Canadian wunderkind's challenge at world championship trials in Melbourne next week.
Titmus swam a modest 4:00.49 to retain her 400m title at national championships in April but has been building towards a performance at the Melbourne trials starting on Tuesday. "As far as Arnie goes, she's shown her competitive desire to be the best and I would assume would motivate her to continue to do that."
The 200m backstroke world record-holder Kaylee McKeown and Emma McKeon, who scooped four golds and three bronze medals at the Tokyo Olympic pool to be the Games' most decorated athlete, are also among the headline acts.On the men's side, former 100m freestyle Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers will hope to lay down a marker ahead of Fukuoka after winning the event at the national championships.
