Olympics-Women triumphant in Tokyo as Biles spotlights mental health at Games

TOKYO -With the Olympics still digesting U.S. gymnast Simone Biles's stunning exit from the team event, champion women made a splash in Tokyo on Wednesday as Australian Ariarne Titmus, American Katie Ledecky and Japan's Yui Ohashi all clinched gold in swimming.

The 24-year-old said the pressure of living up to expectations and her quest for a record gold medal haul had left her no choice but to drop out for her own mental health. He said mental health remained a big issue and said it was a matter that the organisation had been working on for some time.In the pool on Wednesday, women once again stole the show. Ariarne Titmus won a second gold medal in Tokyo, her first Olympics. Dubbed the"Terminator", she accelerated in the final metres to finish ahead of Ledecky, whom she beat for a second time after winning the 400m freestyle on Monday.

Swimmer Yui Ohashi also took her second gold medal in the 200m medley after victory in the 400m medley on Sunday.
