Store Opening In Adelaide - Source: GettyAriarne Titmus took a 12-month break after her Paris Olympics campaign, where she won four medals: two golds and two silvers. Less than a year before the Games, she underwent ovarian tumor surgery, yet returned in time and made a strong Olympic comeback.In an October 2024 interview on the Inherited podcast, Titmus reflected on finishing second in the 200m freestyle at Paris, calling it one of the hardest losses of her career."I think that probably losing the 200 in Paris was, in hindsight, more challenging than I realized. I didn’t swim a very good race. Six weeks prior, at our Olympic trials, I swam a world record 1:52.2, which still blows my mind. At the Olympic Games, I clocked 1:53.8, nowhere near my best, but it just wasn’t my day," she said.Ariarne Titmus added that she remained proud of her silver medal but was affected by the reactions and questions afterward."It’s hard to describe, but at the Olympics, you’re not just swimming fast, you’re focused on being the champion, getting your hand on the wall first. I remember seeing the number two on the scoreboard. I wasn’t upset because I had won before. I was defending champion, and I had the world record."Ariarne Titmus skipped the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore and is now focused on the 2028 LA Olympics.
