Ariarne Titmus on giving up medals for motherhood

Inherited

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Today, we sit down with Ariarne Titmus, a four-time Olympic gold medalist. At just 24 years old, Ariarne is at the top of her swimming game and has inherited abundant success. While she may be at the pinnacle of her career, Ariarne’s personal life took a turn; and tested her before one of the biggest moments of her career.

In this conversation, Ariarne opens up about her inherited relic: four scars that put everything into perspective before the Paris 2024 Olympics. She also speaks about the balance between her identity and swimming and shares the rules and rituals that keep her grounded and at peace.
