There have been emotional scenes in the Paris pool with Australian swimming legend Ariarne Titmus coming a narrow second in the 800m freestyle to her great American rival Katie Ledecky. It was a brave swim from an exhausted Titmus, who closed the gap on the US champ in the final lap, but just couldn’t muster the energy to overtake her. American Paige Madden finished third, but it was all bout the swimming giants Ledecky and Titmus, who raised each other’s hand after the epic race.
“To do it one day one makes me so proud and I can finally relax. It’s been a big week. “We really feel it here , it’s quite isolating. I’m looking forward to letting my hair down. “I knew that at the end of eight days it would be tough, but I wanted to leave it all out there and go home from these Games with no regrets, I don’t think I’d be able to sleep at night if I second-guessed my approach to the race. “I left it all out there and I am really proud of my efforts.
