McKeown<\/strong> has swum her way into the annals of international swimming with her all-the-way victory in the 200m backstroke &#8211; winning Australia&#8217;s 12th gold medal on the final night of the 16th World Short Course Championships in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old completed the 100-200m double, confirming her status as the world&#8217;s premier backstroker &#8211; the 2020 Olympic champion and world record holder over short and long course adding the World Short Course title to this year&#8217;s Long Course crown in Budapest and the Commonwealth Games gold in Birmingham.<\/p>\n<p>But McKeown had to withstand the turning power of US World Championships silver medallist <strong>Claire Curzan<\/strong>, who kept the pressure on the Australian off every wall &#8211; until McKeown upped her stroke-rate over the final 75 metres to touch the wall in 1:59.26 (13.28;27.87;58.26l 1:28.92) with Curzan second in 2:00.53 and <strong>Kylie Masse<\/strong>
