BREAKING: Ariarne Titmus (1:52.23) Wins World Record Breaking Duel With Mollie O\u2019Callaghan In Epic 200m Freestyle Battle Royal\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> and Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> have lifted the roof off the Brisbane Aquatic Centre tonight in a world record race for the ages with Titmus setting a new global mark in the 200m freestyle on one of Australian swimming\u2019s most memorable nights.<\/p>\n

Both girls swimming under the O\u2019Callaghan\u2019s old world mark (1:52.85 set at the 2023 Fukuoka World’s) \u2013 Titmus out-touching her St Peters Western teammate \u2013 clocking 1:52.23 (26.64; 55.13; 1:23.95) to O\u2019Callaghan\u2019s 1:52.48 (26.59; \u00a055.33; 1:24.11)\u2013 Titmus taking a whopping 0.62 off the previous mark \u2013 beating her team mate by 0.25.<\/p>\n

And it was Lani Pallister<\/strong> (Griffith University) second to Titmus in the 400m for a Paris berth, touching third in her personal best time of 1:55.57. The first six swimmers all under the Olympic qualifying time of 1:56.49 (see Results below) including all four St Peters Western swimmers who broke the world record in the 4x200m freestyle in Fukuoka last year (Titmus,O’Callaghan, Brianna Throssell<\/strong> and Shayna Jack<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Titmus in lane four, O\u2019Callaghan in lane five, producing an epic stroke-for-stroke battle royal.<\/p>\n

Down the first lap it was Jack, \u00a0<\/strong>who took the race out under world record pace – spitting 26.24 at the first turn.<\/p>\n

And it was the signal for her two teammates \u2013 Titmus the Olympic champion and Mollie “O” the 2023 world champion and world record holder to push themselves where no women had ever ventured before.<\/p>\n

At the 100m mark it was Titmus 0.81 seconds ahead of world record pace, Mollie right on her shoulder, the crowd on its feet, as they reacted to one of the greatest four-lap duels in swimming history.<\/p>\n

By the 150m mark it was still Titmus in front, 0.79 under world time \u2013 both girls pushing hard off the final turn and for the next 25 metres it was Mollie O who lifted, her signature six-beat kick surging her narrowly into the lead, edging in front of her teammate.<\/p>\n

And just when it looked like the world champ from Fukuoka would take over, the Olympic champ dug deeper than she\u2019s ever dug before, finding something to edge oh so narrowly in front.<\/p>\n

For the last 15 metres the two girls swam stroke for stroke, the crowd stomping and screaming \u2013 lifting the roof off the famous old Brisbane pool at Chandler, Titmus touching the wall 0,25secs ahead of O\u2019Callaghan. What a battle it was..gripping from start to finish and off every turn – swimming at a never seen before level of power and determination.<\/p>\n

An elated Titmus out-touched Mollie and smashed the water with a clenched fist in elation, with Mollie bravely coming to terms with the fact that she had just swum faster than she had ever swum in her life but had lost her prized world record \u2013 devastation.<\/p>\n

Their coach Dean Boxall, prancing along the top deck of the pool, remonstrating with himself and signaling to the crowd that he had five swimmers of the eight finalists in the water and the two fastest swimmers of all time who will headline the Dolphins at the Paris Olympics in what will be the most anticipated re-match of the Games.<\/p>\n

Titmus praised her team mates, coach Boxall and the St Peters Western program, saying: \u201cThis race is so hotly contested that both Mollie and I have to put our best foot forward to (even) make this team for the relay, looking at (all) the results it\u2019s just unbelievable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am just really happy to finally produce a swim in the 200m that my training reflects. I think that the field that we have is why we are swimming so fast.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe push each other every day\u2026to have five girls under Dean in that final is unbelievable it\u2019s a credit to him and the program\u2026”<\/p>\n

The St Peters Western girls certainly push each other to their limits, O\u2019Callaghan saying: \u201cIt really shows how hard we train.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Callaghan admitting she is still learning how to swim the 200m freestyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not really that experienced just yet..I\u2019m still learning\u2026I\u2019m still really getting used to this 200m freestyle\u2026it\u2019s a very difficult evet to get your head around,\u201d said Mollie O.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning and last night I couldn\u2019t really sleep\u2026especially after that 100m backstroke (last night) I felt quite taxed and the last few days I have just been eaten up by nerves\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
