Eyeing her final Commonwealth Games appearance, swim star Kaylee McKeown has labelled her form at Australia's swim trials as far from her best.
After pulling out of 200m individual medley heats, a still underdone McKeown fought off a spirited challenge from youngster Iona Anderson to win the women's final in 57.77 seconds at Sydney Olympic Park.
The five-time Olympic gold champion fell short of her personal best of 57.16 seconds and the world record of 57.13 seconds set by US rival Regan Smith.
"That's the fourth fastest time in the world - I'd like to be faster than that," McKeown said.
"But we're our own harshest critics. And at the end of the day, I just need to do it when it counts."
