The Australian added that she rarely competes in the individual 200m freestyle and was pleased to record a time of 1:53.

Olympic Champion Continues Strong Run

The 24-year-old Pallister won Olympic gold with Australia’s 4x200m freestyle relay team at the Paris Games in 2024.

She also secured silver in the 800m freestyle at last year’s World Championships in Singapore.

American star Katie Ledecky won that race, with Pallister taking second and McIntosh finishing behind her.
