Australian swimmer Kaylee McKeown has once again showcased her dominance in the women's individual backstroke events at the Olympic Games. In a remarkable display of skill and determination, the 23-year-old athlete secured gold in the 200m backstroke event in Paris, setting a new Olympic record with a time of 2:03.73 at La Défense Arena. This victory comes shortly after her triumph in the 100m backstroke event earlier in the week.
McKeown's stellar performance in Paris mirrors her success at the Tokyo Games in 2021, where she also claimed gold in both the 100m and 200m backstroke events. With her latest win, McKeown now boasts an impressive total of five career Olympic gold medals, along with one bronze.
