Ariarne Titmus, Australia’s four-time Olympic gold medallist, announced her retirement from competitive swimming at age 25, ending a remarkable journey in the sport.


Titmus confirmed her decision on Wednesday, leaving behind a legacy that includes eight Olympic medals and four world titles. Her fierce rivalry with American swimmer Katie Ledecky defined an era in women’s freestyle events.

She made headlines at the Paris Olympics by winning her third individual gold in the 400m freestyle, a race dubbed “the race of the century.” Titmus outpaced Ledecky and Canada’s Summer McIntosh to defend her title, showcasing her dominance in the pool.

Eight months before Paris, Titmus underwent surgery to remove benign ovarian tumours. That experience prompted reflection on her life beyond swimming. She shared her thoughts in a heartfelt video, saying, “I’ve taken this time away from the pool and realised some things in my life that have always been important to me are just a little bit more important to me.”

Titmus retires holding the world record in the 200m freestyle. She had initially planned to compete at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics but chose to prioritize personal goals. Her decision surprised fans and teammates, who admired her dedication and resilience.

As one of Australia’s most decorated athletes, Titmus leaves the sport with pride and gratitude. She expressed excitement for the next chapter, saying, “Beyond swimming I’ve always had goals in my personal life. More than anything I’m excited for what’s next.”
