I saw this too. Apparently she was burned out physically and emotionally. Janet Evans retired at 24.

25 is not that young to retire from swimming, especially if not a sprinter. It's a lot of wear and tear on the shoulders. Katie Ledecky is more of an exception to the rule. Titmus probably knew she didn't have it in her to train in the way she would need in order to fend off Ledecky again. Better to quit while you're ahead than for your legacy to be "Ledecky passed her in the end"

LShe would also need to fend off Summer McIntosh who is a teenager in the 400m

Is she the most injured skier? At some point you gotta take your licks and sit down. Hopefully she stops hurting herself after these 2 most recent injuries.

I hope she doesn't lose her leg.

That’s definitely a possibility. Many people on Reddit have responded to discussions about her stating that with similar injuries requiring multiple surgeries and pain, opt for amputation. They have a better quality of life after.

She’d be all over the paraOlympics.
