Titmus rose to fame in Tokyo by dethroning Ledecky, who had dominated women’s freestyle for the best part of a decade. The Australian also won the 200m freestyle, finished second in the 800m freestyle and earned a bronze medal in the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay. Titmus, still only 23, said she had grown in the years since her break-out performance at the last Games.
Titmus paid tribute to her rivals in what shapes up to be one of the marquee races of the Paris swim meet, which gets underway in late July. “I think it’s more satisfying in my races that to win I have to beat the greatest,” she said. “That gives me more satisfaction knowing that if I do win, it is in the toughest field in the world.”
