Ariarne Titmus sensationally steps away from swimming with no set return date after glorious Olympics

Ariarne Titmus has sensationally revealed she will step away from swimming with no set return date in the wake of an exhausting Olympics campaign in Paris.

The Australian freestyle superstar claimed 400m and 4x200m relay gold medals while picking up silver in the 200m and 800m, and she may not race again for well over a year.

The podium finishes extended her streak of claiming a medal in every single event she has ever contested at the Olympics, but it came at a significant cost.

Utterly spent after her last race on Sunday in Paris, the 23-year-old said in the immediate aftermath that she was ready for “a big rest” — and she meant it.

“I’m definitely having a very extended break,” Titmus said when she expanded on her future at a low-key press conference on Monday.

“I haven’t planned when I’m going back to swimming. I want to go back when I feel ready to go back. Could be up to 12 months.”
