[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This swimmer was interesting - Ariarne Titmus. After success in two Olympics she said she'd had enough and it was time to try something else. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2025/oct/17/ariarne-titmus-swimmer-retires-at-the-top[/quote] I saw this too. Apparently she was burned out physically and emotionally. Janet Evans retired at 24. [/quote] 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"[/quote]
