Ariarne Titmus debuted at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, winning two golds, one silver, and a bronze; she repeated her medal-winning feat in Paris. In an interview, she announced she would return to the competitive pool in July after a year-long break. but only to train for the Los Angeles Games. Stating the reason behind her decision, the 24-year-old said:

"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," said Titmus. (via SMH)

She also shed light on the importance of her much-needed break from swimming after the 2024 Olympics, saying:

"I’ve always said that I was going to take a 12-month break off the back of Paris.... 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 swimmer won the Tasmanian Athlete of the Year honor after her victory in the French capital.
