Kaylee McKeown's last gold medal at the world short course swimming championships illustrated why she is no mood to sit back and admire her many achievements.
The Australian star made swimming history on Sunday night when she won the 200m backstroke, her third world title at the event.
It meant she is the first woman to simultaneously hold the Olympic, Commonwealth, world short course and world long course titles in the same event.
The only man to achieve the feat is compatriot Grant Hackett in the 1500m.
But while McKeown was on track to beat her own world record for a large chunk of the race, she had company.
American Claire Curzan stuck with McKeown throughout and clocked two minutes 0.53 seconds as the Australian won in 1:59.26.
It was another reminder that the scenario for McKeown in the lead-up to Paris is markedly different from how it was ahead of her triumphant Tokyo Games campaign.
"I was the chaser (before Tokyo) ... and now I have all these girls wanting to chase me," said McKeown, who won three Olympic gold medals last year.
"I just have to put myself back in that position and realise, hey, just because I've done this in my career, it doesn't mean it's going to be given to me the next time I step up to do it.
"I put all that on the backburner - not that it doesn't matter - but for me, if I reflect on and think about it all the time my training is not going to be as hard as it needs to be."
But as McKeown deals with being the hunted and not the hunter, she was well aware of how special it was to join Hackett in their elite swimming club.
"To be up there with someone like him, it's phenomenal and something I will probably cherish for a really long time," she said.
