Ariarne Titmus Paces Like a Swiss Watch and Grabs Gold: 200 FR Analysis
Australia’s swimming sensation
Ariarne Titmus paces like a Swiss watch and takes the gold ahead of Haughey (silver) and Oleksiak (bronze) just two days after snagging the win from Ledecky and being crowned the 400 Freestyle champion.
The all-star heat included two world record holders Frederica Pellegrini (200m Freestyle) and
Katie Ledecky (400m Freestyle). It was one to go down in history. Pellegrini, the 32-year-old Italian, was the first woman ever to qualify in this event for five consecutive career finals – living up to her legend status once more. But she was not the only one making history in that final.
