Even in-race, Titmus said she wasn't too aware of O'Callaghan closing in on her — Titmus breathed away from O'Callaghan's side on three out of the four laps. "I can just fly under the radar," said O'Callaghan, who admitted that she was "not in a good place" heading into Wednesday night's racing, and that she hadn't slept well the night before.
