'Whirlwind' as Australia's O'Callaghan Romps to 200m World Gold

SINGAPORE, JUL 30 – O'Callaghan became the first swimmer to win world titles twice in both 100m and 200m freestyle events and earned her 10th world championship gold medal.

  • Australian swimmer Mollie O'Callaghan secured first place in the women's 200m freestyle at the 2023 World Championships held in Singapore.
  • O'Callaghan credited her achievements to taking an extended rest following the Olympics and recovering from injury, with valuable guidance and support from her coach, Dean Boxall.
  • She narrowly defeated a competitive field that included Claire Weinstein and Li Bingjie, finishing with a time of 1:53.48, which ranks as the ninth quickest ever recorded this season.
  • This victory marked O'Callaghan's tenth World Championship gold, tying Grant Hackett and making her the first to twice win both 100m and 200m freestyle titles.
  • Australia holds the top position in the medal standings with four gold medals, despite swimmer Sam Short having to pull out of the men's 800m final due to a suspected case of food poisoning.
