Since then, it\u2019s been unbroken triumph.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian added a second gold medal of the meet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-kaylee-mckeown-touches-out-regan-smith-for-50-backstroke-world-title\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">by winning the women\u2019s 50 backstroke Thursday night<\/a> at Marine Messe Hall. It puts her in position for a backstroke triple, with the 200 back still to come.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the way that she started her week, disqualified from the 200 individual medley at the semifinal stage Sunday night in the meet\u2019s very first event, it\u2019s been quite the rally.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/2023-world-aquatics-championships\">World Championships Meet Page<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2023\/world-aquatics-championships-sw-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Results<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>McKeown is clear that that wasn\u2019t the plan. But the reigning 100 back and 200 back gold medalist came to Japan hoping to burnish her toughness ahead of the Paris Games next summer. She\u2019s been tested by circumstances and come through with flying colors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a perfect stepping stone for Paris,\u201d McKeown said. \u201cThe more that I can do here and the more I put myself under stress and pressure and just emotionally and physically as well, the better off I\u2019ll be next year, and that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m doing. I didn\u2019t come into the meet with any goals of PBing, records, podiums at all. I just wanted to get through my races, heats, semis and finals, and I\u2019ve been able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not it was the goal, she continues to push the pace. Her time of 27.08 Thursday night was an Oceania record. It edged out Regan Smith of the U.S. by .03 seconds for gold.<\/p>\n<p>McKeown also claimed gold in the women\u2019s 100 back in 57.53, again at the expense of Smith by a half-second. That time is a meet record and within .08 of her world record. She also led off in 58.03 to help the Aussies win silver in the mixed medley relay.<\/p>\n<p>McKeown doesn\u2019t always think of herself as a sprint backstroker. The gold Thursday was her first in a 50 in international competition since the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never actually podiumed for a 50,\u201d McKeown said. \u201cI\u2019ve always come out like fourth or worse off, so it\u2019s really nice to be able to share that podium with some amazing girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was third in the event at the Commonwealth Games last summer, behind <strong>Kylie Masse<\/strong> and compatriot <strong>Mollie O\u2019Callaghan.<\/strong> (Masse was fourth Thursday in 27.28, .08 behind <strong>Lauren Cox<\/strong> for the final podium spot; O\u2019Callaghan didn\u2019t swim it.) The medal is McKeown\u2019s 10th career at World Championships. Three are gold, seven silver, with all three golds and five total as individual medals.<\/p>\n<p>Heat of the 200 back are Friday morning. McKeown holds the world record in 2:03.14. She\u2019ll have Smith and Masse to contend with again. But she\u2019s feeling confident, in her form in the pool and her ability to turn the page emotionally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very happy that I\u2019ve got some good speed, so fingers crossed that my speed can carry into some endurance for the 200 tomorrow,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m pretty nervous for it, but I\u2019m excited to get it out of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worlds: Kaylee McKeown\u2019s Fukuoka Adversity Makes for \u2018Stepping Stone\u2019 to Paris Kaylee McKeown\u2019s World Aquatics Championships began with disappointment and acrimony.
