Former Aussie swimmer James ‘The Missile’ Magnussen has declared Mollie O’Callaghan “will go on to be our greatest Olympian in history” after pipping Ariarne Titmus to the gold medal in the 200m individual freestyle.
‘Our greatest Olympian in history’: James Magnussen makes enormous call on Mollie O’Callaghan after pipping Ariarne Titmus in 200m freestyle
However, it was O'Callaghan's stunning underwater work in the final lap as she surfaced in front, pushing past Titmus while Haughey fell back, that put the 20-year-old half a body length in front of her Aussie teammate by the end. “Mollie always had more tools in the duffel. She’s more skilful, she’s got more speed and she’s got that turn on the third fifty, where we saw it tonight,” he said before making a major call on O’Callaghan.
“You see each other in the marshalling area, you see each other on the bus, you see each other in the dining hall."
