Ariarne Titmus has long been a star, but it was at the Tokyo Olympics that the world truly took notice. She clinched gold in the 200m and 400m freestyle, triumphing over an elite field that included American superstar Katie Ledecky.

As she heads to Paris to defend her titles, her biggest rival in the 200m may come from a superstar within her own team. A fashionista and budding broadcaster, Ariarne Titmus is, above all, a fierce competitor in the pool.

Leading a swim team poised for greatness, could this be her last Olympics? Join us on the Road to Paris with the Terminator… Arnie.
