Ariarne Titmus to challenge Katie Ledecky

During the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju, Ariarne Titmus shocked the world by defeating Ledecky in the 400-meter freestyle event. Ledecky is the reigning Olympic champion and a defeat in South Korea came as a bit of a surprise, for her.

However, Titmus is the rising star from down under and looks set to make Ledecky work hard for the title. Notably, the 400-meter freestyle event is a must-watch event for swimming fans all over the world.

Besides Titmus, Emma McKeon scored a big upset in the trails while putting a show in the trails for the national team. She has officially become Australia’s fastest swimmer after shocking Cate Campbell during the selections. But, with the experience of Cate Campbell, they have a deep roster for both the sprint events in Tokyo.

On the other hand, Kaylee McKeown put up a brilliant display in the 100-meter backstroke event as she broke the world record during the trials. She now is the outright favorite to win the event.

The Tokyo Olympics has arrived after much anticipation because of the postponement of the event from last year. The USA and Australia are two nations that comprise talented swimmers. Moreover, these two nations will dominate the events in the swimming competitions.
