SYDNEY (Reuters) - Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus is gearing herself up for very quick races at next year's Paris Games and thinks everyone on the podium for the 400 metres freestyle will swim well under four minutes.

The 22-year-old Australian edged Katie Ledecky by less than a second to win one of her two golds in the 400 at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and took the American's world record in May last year in a time of three minutes 56.40 seconds.
