BRISBANE, Australia — Ariarne Titmus set a world record in the women’s 200-meter freestyle on Wednesday at Australia’s Olympic swimming trials.
Titmus finished in 1 minute, 52.23 seconds in the final, taking almost two-thirds of a second off Mollie O’Callaghan’s world mark of 1:52.85 set at last year’s world championships.Titmus, the Olympic champion in the 200- and 400-meter freestyle events, now holds the world records in both events. “Honestly, the world record is a bonus,” she said. “I'm happy to finally put together a swim that I know I’m capable of and it’s exciting to do it in my home town, in front of a home-town crowd.”“We really don’t see what each other is doing in training, we are very separate — she trains for the sprint events, I train for middle distance,” Titmus said. “Looking at a world record, I don’t look at who has it. I look at the time.
Australia's squad for the Olympics will be confirmed on the weekend, after the six-day trials at Brisbane's Chandler Aquatic Center.
