Double Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus has no plans to reverse her decision not to compete at this year's world championships, despite going close to breaking Federica Pellegrini's world record in the 200m freestyle on Friday.

Despite her impressive swim, the Australian will remain focused on the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in July and August in an attempt to avoid burning out ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024."Initially, I didn't want to go to worlds because I didn't think I'd be ready to be mentally at that level to deal with the pressure again.

Titmus's performance is the closest any swimmer has come to the mark since the suits were banned. The 21-year-old was delighted with her effort.
