Olympic gold medallist Mollie O’Callaghan has paid the ultimate tribute to Ariarne Titmus by inviting her to stand on the top step of the podium in Paris. O’Callaghan upstaged her legendary teammate to win the 200m freestyle final on Monday night . But rather than soak up the deserved adulation after receiving her first individual gold medal, O’Callaghan sought out Titmus to stand arm-in-arm for the Australian national anthem.
They are both great champions,” commentator Mat Thompson said on Nine. Host Eddie McGuire added: “Unbelievable to share the victory dais, to do that was just something special. Wonderful human beings.” O’Callaghan won two relay gold medals as a heat swimmer at Tokyo three years ago but has come of age in Paris. She helped Australia win the 4x100m freestyle relay final and has now toppled Titmus on the biggest stage. O’Callaghan said it was “such an honour” to battle her training partner.
