FUKUOKA, Japan (AP) — Australian Ariarne Titmus had only one tactic in mind to reclaim her women’s 400-meter freestyle world record on Sunday’s opening day of the World Aquatics Championships.Start fast and hang on.It worked.

Canadian 16-year-old Summer McIntosh, who held the record after taking it four months ago from Titmus, was fourth in 3:59.94. Her old mark was 3:56.08.“It wasn’t something (breaking the record) that I had my mind on for this meet,” Titmus said. “I just wanted to come here and try and swim the way I know I’m capable of.
