Olympic Champion Ariarne Titmus meets Supercars Championship driver Jamie Whincup as she links up with Red Bull Ampol Racing

Ariarne Titmus recently visited the Red Bull Ampol Racing, where she was seen hanging out with conpatriot Jamie Whincup. The Australian swimmer concluded her 2024 season weeks ago after competing at the Paris Olympics.

The 24-year-old won four medals in the 2024 Summer Games, of which two were gold and two were silver. The first gold won by her was in the 400m freestyle event, where she surpassed Katie Ledecky by clocking 3:57.49. Summer McIntosh and Ledecky claimed second and third place, respectively.

The Aussie added another gold medal to her medal tally by competing in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay, where she swam the anchor leg and helped her team to create a new Olympic record. Along with this, she won two silver medals in the 200m freestyle and the 800m freestyle events.

Weeks after this successful campaign, Ariarne Titmus visited the Red Bull Ampol Racing on October 24, 2024, where she met the Australian professional racing driver, Jamie Whincup. She re-posted the story of the racing organization on her Instagram story, where the swimmer was seen posing with Whincup in front of a racing car.

Ariarne Titmus' Instagram story

Ariarne Titmus' comeback has been exceptional in the Paris Olympics after the adversities she faced in 2023 because of her ovarian tumor surgery.

Ariarne Titmus opened up about the importance of becoming a mother after her ovarian tumor surgery

Ariarne Titmus sat in a conversation with Ruby Hall, the host of Inherited, on October 22, where Titmus opened up about the significance of being a mother after recovering from her tumor surgery. The Australian swimmer underwent surgery to remove two tumors from her right ovary in September 2023, which kept her away from competitive swimming for a while.

The 24-year-old spoke about the change in her midset during this period of her time and emphasized the importance of motherhood. She revealed that she was ready to give up all her gold medals for having a child.

"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," said Ariarne Titmus.

She added:

"I was battling in my head post-surgery, one side of me was like, let your body heal, let your body be, get better, because you need to let yourself recover, and then other part of my brain was like, no, you only have eight months, you gotta get going. You know my coach pushing me and everyday checking how was I feeling, because when you get something like cut open, it takes a while to heal, and especially swimming is such a core dominant sport. It was really, really challenging, but I am actually glad it happened because of it I made me have a different outlook on life."

Titmus recently also revealed that during her high school, she never went to one party and never had a boyfriend.
