Ariarna Titmus had a fantastic campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympics. During the event, she successfully defended her 400m freestyle title, while also securing a gold medal in the 4x200m freestyle relay, and silver medals in the 200m and 800m freestyle races.

Since the Games, the Australian has been enjoying some time away from the pool. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, Titmus revealed that she plans to get back to training in July, saying,

“I just knew that after Paris, I needed some time away. I’ve been on the national team since I was 16, and I just needed a bit of a break mentally from the intensity of the sport. The plan is to get back in July. I’ve spoken to [coach] Dean [Boxall] about that. He said to get moving in July, I may have to start doing a little bit in the water at the end of May. That’s definitely the plan.”

Titmus also confirmed that she intends to race at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, saying,

“For me, there’s no point racing when I’m not going to be able to perform at my best or near my best. When you’re at the tail-end of your career, the Olympics just become so much more important. I’ll be going back to training to be able to gear up for LA. It’s the Olympic Games that now my eyes are on.”

Overall, Ariarne Titmus has won eight Olympic medals over the course of her career. At the Tokyo Games, her debut at the marquee event, the 24-year-old picked up gold medals in the 200m and 400m freestyle, as well as a silver and bronze medal in the 800m freestyle and 4x200m freestyle relay, respectively.
