Australian Olympic swimmer Ariarne Titmus has sent her well wishes to fellow athlete Dawn Fraser after she suffered a fall at her home in Queensland. The decorated swimmer was rushed to the hospital and admitted to intensive care after breaking four ribs and a hip in the accident at her Noosa house. However, there is good news as she has now been moved out of intensive care and is on the road to recovery, according to her daughter who spoke to 9News.
Titmus, who has great respect for Fraser, described her as a strong and resilient person who has a lot of support. She believes that no matter what challenges come her way, Fraser will be able to overcome them. "She will be in my prayers for the next few days and I know that everyone in Australia will be hoping for her speedy recovery," Titmus said.
At 87 years old, Fraser's determination has not wavered, as her family shared that she is determined to get out of bed by herself and walk through the hospital with the same grit and determination that made her an Olympic champion. Swimming Australia's CEO, Rob Woodhouse, also praised Fraser, calling her an "Australian living treasure" and an "icon of our sport". He added, "We wish her a speedy and healthy recovery."
Fraser's impressive career includes eight Olympic medals, six British Empire and Commonwealth gold medals, and numerous world records, both individual and as part of a team. She continues to inspire and mentor young swimmers in the sport that she loves. "Dawn Fraser is a living legend," Titmus said. "She set the standard for the Australian swimming team all those years ago and I am grateful for her support and encouragement. She always tells me how proud she is of me, which means a lot."
Just a few months ago, Fraser was cheering on the Olympic swimming stars before they headed to Paris. Despite her age, she remains active and involved in the sport. In light of this recent accident, it is clear that she is a fighter who will not let anything keep her down for long.
