20- Year Old Swimming Marvel Ariarne Titmus Wins Two Gold Medals at Tokyo Olympics

It’s not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.

-Paul “Bear” Bryant

Born in the year 2000 in Tasmania, Australia, Ariarne Titmus is a professional swimmer who specializes in freestyle stroke. She began swimming in school at the age of 7 and has pursued it seriously since then. She credits her parents for her success who moved her family from Tasmani to Queensland in 2015 so that she could have better training facilities.  It was under the tutelage of Coach Dean Boxall that she made her debut at the 2017 World Aquatic Championships where she won a bronze medal.

In the same year, she won 3 gold and 1 silver medal at the Commonwealth Games. She became one of the 27 athletes chosen to represent Australia at the 2019 World Aquatic Championship where she won gold and broke the World Record in the 400m freestyle, earning herself the nickname ‘Terminator’, says Swimming Australia
