"It changed my perspective on life"- When Ariarne Titmus opened up about her time during her surgery before the Paris Olympics 2024

Ariarne Titmus reflected on her experience of getting the surgery done ahead of the Paris Olympics 2024. She underwent surgery after she was diagnosed with two tumors in her ovary eight months ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. She recently appeared in an episode of the 'Inherited' podcast, where she said the surgery changed her point of view toward life and said that it was the most difficult chapter of her life.

"It changed my perspective on life quite a lot actually and I am actually glad that I had that experience. The hardest part was going through all the tests, seeing how big it was, whether it was cancerous, how they were going to remove it," said Ariarme Titmus. [2:56 onwards]

In the same interview, she also opened up about being a mother and said that she could give up every gold medal to become a mother and, along with this, also called herself lucky for having the best mother.

"I would give up every gold medal I have ever wanted to have a child. I just have such maternal instincts, I think the fear of potentially that becoming harder by the prospect of losing an ovary was really tough. I am so lucky that I have got the best mum in the world, and I just want to be that one day. So, it was really really challenging," she added [6:20 onwards].

Ariarne Titmus is a three-time world record holder, a four-time Olympic champion, and is also a six-time world champion.
