The federal election wasn’t the only big race in town – in Adelaide, Australia’s best swimmers continued to battle it out for World Championships and Commonwealth Games selection. Ariarne Titmus broke legend Katie Ledecky’s 400m freestyle record yesterday. Despite her success in the last 12 months, Titmus said she still regards Ledecky as the GOAT. “To be in the conversation with her I feel completely honoured,” she said. Shayna Jack has made a strong comeback from a 2-year drug ban by winning the women’s 50m freestyle final with the fastest time in the world this year. And Kyle Chalmers will claim his spot at the World Championships, which leaves popstar Cody Simpson without a start. Chalmers said the saga had “been really challenging for me mentally and emotionally,” so he’s gone home to Port Lincoln to chill out. Simpson, who is said to be dating Chalmers ex-flame/swim star Emma McKeon, is on the Comm Games team list.
