Ariarne Titmus, Summer McIntosh And Katie Ledecky Ready To Rock World Record In 400m Freestyle Showdown <\/strong><\/p>\n

Three women under Summer McIntosh\u2019s<\/strong> world record of 3:56.08 in the women\u2019s 400m freestyle! That\u2019s the bold prediction from former world record holder Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> for what is shaping as a spectacular opening night to the 2023 World Aquatic Championships in Fukuoka next week.<\/p>\n

The build-up to \u201cthe race of the century\u201d at next year\u2019s Paris Olympics will get a perfect preview when the big three: McIntosh (CAN) Katie Ledecky<\/strong> (USA) and Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> (AUS) line up for the most anticipated and tantalising eight laps in the history of women\u2019s swimming.<\/p>\n

A final that on this year\u2019s times will also feature Erika Fairweather<\/strong> (NZL), Lani Pallister<\/strong> (AUS), Li Binjjie<\/strong>(CHN), Bella Sims<\/strong> (USA) and Isobel Gose<\/strong> (GER).<\/p>\n

Of the current day swimmers, only McIntosh, Titmus and Ledecky have been under four minutes \u2013 but you get the feeling it\u2019s a barrier that could be joined by the rest of the field.<\/p>\n

Titmus and the Australian Dolphins have been in their Staging Camp in Saga this past week preparing for the 20th<\/sup> Edition of the World Championships that began in Belgrade in 1973.<\/p>\n

And the previous world record holder holds no illusions as to the expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s going to be three women who hopefully repost the world record,\u201d said Titmus, who in 2019 became only the second Australian behind Tracey Wickham <\/strong>in 1978 in West Berlin to win the coveted 400m freestyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I feel just very blessed to be a part of that. Whether I am the hunter or hunted, I’m just going to go in there to give it a red-hot crack.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel it\u2019s quite even \u2026 I mean, I’d love to be a fan of swimming right now, watching the 400m freestyle is going to be unbelievable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I’ve done things in training I’ve never done before, which is a nice feeling to have. I feel like I’m going into Worlds with a lot of confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the beginning of the year, I wasn’t too happy with where I was and I’ve really shifted my mindset, I just had a lot going on in my personal life which was overriding my focus on swimming.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve realigned my focus \u2026 and prioritised my swimming. I look back to 2019 Worlds and they were a great steppingstone for me, and a major breakthrough becoming World Champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacing at (Worlds) and a pressure meet is a great practice for next year. I feel like I haven’t really had racing at this level since the Olympics \u2026 I haven\u2019t raced Katie in a long time so I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast Facts: <\/strong><\/p>\n

On the 24th<\/sup> of August 1978 in West Berlin, Tracey Wickham<\/strong> became Australia\u2019s first 400m freestyle world swimming champion \u2013 setting a new world record time of 4:06.28 \u2013 a mark that lasted almost a decade before American legend Janet Evans<\/strong> eventually lowered the time to 4:03.85 \u2013 which lasted 18 years. Australia had to wait four decades for its next world champion when an 18-year-old, Tasmanian-born Queenslander Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> up-staged US pair Katie Ledecky<\/strong> and Leah Smith<\/strong> in a momentous swim in Gwangju in 2019 – rocketing her into international swimming stardom.<\/p>\n
