Olympic swimming gold medalist wins hearts

After defending her Olympic gold medal in the 400m freestyle, Aussie swimmer Titmus felt she could have broken the world record had she been staying in better accommodation. ‘It probably wasn’t the time I thought I was capable of, but living in the Olympic Village makes it hard to perform,’ she admitted in an interview after the race. ‘It’s definitely not made for high performance, so it’s about who can really keep it together in the mind.’
