GOLD COAST, Australia (Reuters) - Australia's Ariarne Titmus overcame some of the worst nerves she had ever experienced on her way to clinching a second individual gold medal at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games when she eased to victory in the women's 400m freestyle on Tuesday.

The 17-year-old, nicknamed 'Terminator', backed up her 800m triumph from a day earlier with a comfortable victory over English duo Holly Hibbott and Eleanor Faulkner.
