\u201cAny time you swim under that four-minute mark is an exceptional, world-class swim,\u201d Titmus added.<\/p>\n
But such are the standards to which the 24-year old holds herself that a time of three minutes 59.56 seconds wasn\u2019t enough to satisfy her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not super stoked with the time,\u201d she told Seven.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like you probably could have seen that on my face at the end. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut my first title for the week, it\u2019s important to build and keep going and just move on from it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pallister began a gold rush for the Australians that continued with Jenna Forrester claiming victory in the 200m backstroke.<\/p>\n
The 23-year old, who missed qualifying for the 400m medley at the 2024 Olympics by just 0.15 of a second, set a new personal best as she stormed home.<\/p>\n
Remarkably, the gold came after winning bronze in the 400m freestyle just moments before – a double act that left Titmus \u201cin tears\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat has to be one of the all-time backups I have ever seen,\u201d Titmus said.<\/p>\n
Further glory was to come in the men\u2019s 100m butterfly S10, with Alex Saffy and Col Pearse combining for a gold-silver double act.<\/p>\n
Close friends away from the pool, Pearse said he \u201ccouldn\u2019t be happier\u201d to run second behind Saffy.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe obviously did more work than I did this season. And honestly, I love that little rival,\u201d Pearse told Seven. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like older brother, younger brother type stuff. So happy for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

A dominant night was capped off with blitzing gold medals in each of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s 4x100m freestyle finals.<\/p>\n
Meg Harris, Shayna Jack, Alex Perkins and Mollie O\u2019Callaghan finished 4.26 seconds ahead of the next-placed team; while in the men\u2019s, Kyle Chalmers, Flynn Southam, Kai Taylor and Harrison Turner secured a fifth consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medal in the event for Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Aussies have absolutely cleaned up,\u201d commentator Matt White said on Seven.<\/p>\n
However, the moment of the day arguably came outside the pool, with para powerlifter Hani Watson securing bronze in her event.<\/p>\n
The 43-year old broke through to win Australia\u2019s first powerlifting medal in 16 years at the Birmingham Games four years ago.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Seven afterwards, Watson set her sights firmly on competing at the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, where she has lived since moving from Auckland as a baby.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust don\u2019t give up your dreams,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cDisabilities or not, chronic pain or not, just keep going, keep giving anything a go.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m 44 and I\u2019m still going. I\u2019ve got a dream for Brisbane 2032, and I\u2019m not going to give it up. So get out there, get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n
The gold rush leaves Australia comfortably ahead in first on the medal tally, with six gold, two silver and five bronze.<\/p>\n
Hosts Scotland sit third with two gold and two silver, ahead of England, who are fourth with one gold, four silver and three bronze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australian great Ariarne Titmus was left \u201cin tears\u201d as the nation\u2019s all-conquering swimming team took the pool by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":822139,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,85,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-822138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=822138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/822139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=822138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=822138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=822138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
