She was electric in the 400m and now has a chance to make the Australian team for the 200m freestyle.
From Phil Lutton’s report last night:
‘Titmus had come into the meet carrying a shoulder injury but nothing would hold her back once she dived into the pool. Spurred on by Kaylee McKeown’s world record in the 100m backstroke earlier in the evening, she thundered up and down the pool, getting to the wall in 3:56.90s, just outside Ledecky’s world record of 3:56.46s set when she blitzed the field for gold in Rio.
While McKeown had been banging down the door all year, nobody saw this coming. It was a swim of epic proportions and one that will surely have the mighty Americans sitting up and taking notice.’
What about Titmus’s coach though! Cult hero status. Serious celebration.
