O’Callaghan Wins 10th World Title in Singapore

Australian swimmer Mollie O’Callaghan captured her 10th world championship title by winning the women’s 200m freestyle at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, recording a world-leading 1:53.48. O’Callaghan’s win, marked by strong turns and a dominant final lap, put her more than a second ahead of China’s Li Bingjie and the USA’s Claire Weinstein. The victory places O’Callaghan level with Grant Hackett and just one world title behind Ian Thorpe on Australia’s all-time list. Her achievement follows a year of recovery from injury and a break after her Olympic success, with O’Callaghan crediting her coach and team for their support. Australia also celebrated a bronze from Harrison Turner in the men’s 200m butterfly, while Kyle Chalmers impressed ahead of the men’s 100m freestyle final. Meanwhile, Sam Short withdrew from the men’s 800m freestyle final due to suspected food poisoning.
