From CNN's Matias Grez
Ariarne Titmus fought her way back to overtake two-time defending Olympic champion Katie Ledecky and earn Australia's first gold in this event since 1972. “Honestly, I didn’t even look at the time. I just saw ‘one’ against my name, and once I saw that I was just kind of, like, ‘yeah, whatever.' But it’s a PB so that’s good.
“I was excited that to win this event. I had to beat a great champion [Ledecky] and that makes it even more satisfying. She has done unbelievable things for this sport, and especially middle-distance swimming. Despite not taking home the medal she wanted, the US superstar said standing on the Olympic podium is"not something I take for granted."
“When we meet up it’s always a great race. I hope we have many more great races this week and in the future.
