**Aussie Swimming Star Ariarne Titmus Sets Sights on 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Rules Out 2032 Brisbane Games**

**Australia, June 11, 2025** – Ariarne Titmus, the 24-year-old Australian swimming sensation, has announced her intention to retire from competition after the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, effectively ruling out a potential appearance at the 2032 Brisbane Games hosted on her home soil.

In a recent interview on the “Two Am I” podcast, Titmus stated that the Los Angeles Olympics would mark the “tail end of her career,” hinting at a desire to transition into other aspects of her life after nearly a decade of dominance in the pool.

Titmus has cemented her status as a global swimming icon, winning gold in the 200m and 400m freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics, and a silver in the 200 freestyle in Paris. The Paris Games also saw her take gold in the 400 freestyle. She also holds the world record in the 200m freestyle. Her sights are now set on winning a third consecutive 400m freestyle gold in Los Angeles.

Since the Paris Olympics, Titmus has taken time off from swimming, yet appears to have resumed training.

“I just don’t want to be an athlete that retires from their sport and is lost and has nothing to do,” she said. “I think that it was so important for me to channel different areas of my life to know that when I do leave the sport behind, I’m going to be alright.”
