Ariana's 8x50m fitness set told a clear story: Round 1 averaged 70.8s, Round 2 drifted to 73.4s, and she closed Round 3 at 70.9s — a strong finish that proved the fade wasn't fitness, it was pacing. The first 25m splits were consistently 3 seconds faster than the second, meaning she was redlining the opening and paying for it on the way home.
