\nThis week\u2019s ZUMO Performance of the Week goes to <\/span>Ariarne Titmus <\/b>for <\/span>her Australian and Commonwealth record in the 200 free<\/span><\/a> at the 2019 Australian Swimming Championships. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 18-year old had maybe her most impressive swim to date last week, putting up a 1:54.30 in the 200 free to smash the existing Australian, Commonwealth, and Australian All-Comers records. Titmus\u2019 previous best of 1:54.85 from the 2018 Commonwealth Games was itself just .02 off of <\/span>Emma McKeon\u2019s <\/b>old Australian record and just .04 off of <\/span>Taylor Ruck\u2019s <\/b>Commonwealth record. <\/span><\/p>\n

That makes Titmus the fifth fastest performer of all-time, and makes her the fastest in the world for 2019 by over a second:<\/span><\/p>\n
