Australian Short Course Championships: Unstoppable Kaylee McKeown Preparing To Set Record Straight<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been a spectacular eight years since Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> first made an appearance on the international swimming scene as a 15-year-old from Queensland on the Hawaiian island of Maui.<\/p>\n

The kid sister of 2014 Commonwealth Games breaststroke gold medallist and Rio Olympian Taylor McKeown<\/strong> and telling anyone who listened at the time that she was \u201ca backstroker\u201d to stop any confusion.<\/p>\n

It was the 2016 Junior Pan Pacs where the youngster from the Sunshine Coast won her first gold medal in the 200m backstroke \u2013 adding bronze to fellow Australian Minna Atherton<\/strong> in the 100m.<\/p>\n

Of the 17 backstroke finals that have followed internationally since, McKeown has unleashed a dominance at the highest levels rarely seen by an Australian female swimmer and as she prepares for her second World Short Course Championships in Budapest in December \u2013 the backstroking world remains her oyster.<\/p>\n

Of those 17 individual backstroke finals from the Youth Olympics to the Commonwealth Games, World Short Course, World Long Course and the Olympics, there have been 13 gold, two silver and two bronze medals added to her collection.<\/p>\n

In fact the last time McKeown was beaten in an Olympic distance backstroke event was in the 200m backstroke final at the 2019 World Long Course Championships in Gwangju when her great rival Regan Smith<\/strong> burst onto the scene.<\/p>\n

The pair have staged some ding-dong battles ever since \u2013 pushing each other every stroke of every race over a tantalising last five years.<\/p>\n

McKeown remaining unbeaten over those Olympic distance 100 and 200m events at her\u00a0 last five majors from the 2020 Toyko Olympics, 2022 Commonwealth Games, 2022 World Short Course, the 2023 World Long Course and the 2024 Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n

McKeown became the first female swimmer to successfully defend the 100m and 200m backstroke titles in Olympic history, completing her Paris campaign with a total of five medals -two gold (100m and 200m backstroke), one silver (4x100m women\u2019s medley relay) and two bronze (4x100m mixed medley relay and the 200 IM). Kaylee now has a total of nine Olympic medals \u2013 five gold, one silver and three bronze medals.<\/p>\n

McKeown has already secured automatic selection for both backstrokes and the 200IM under the Swimming Australia criteria as an individual medallist in Paris \u2013 but can add the 50 backstroke and 100IM if she so desires.<\/p>\n

She is preparing for the<\/a> 2024 Australian Short Course Championships, beginning in Adelaide today where she will start her four-day campaign in the 100m backstroke and will contest the 200m backstroke and the 100 IM as she starts her campaign to end a spectacular 2024 at those World Short Course Championships in Budapest in December.<\/p>\n

And she will return to SC racing as a five-time medallist from Melbourne in 2022 \u2013 plotting another campaign to again defend the 100-200m backstroke double.<\/p>\n

PARIS PODIUM: \u00a0Kaylee McKeown of Australia, gold, and US pair Regan Smith silver (L) and Katharine Berkoff, bronze show medals after the 100m backstroke at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at La Defense Arena in Paris (France), July 30, 2024.<\/p><\/div>\n

And of the very few backstroke world records that don\u2019t have the name K McKeown alongside it \u2013 it\u2019s the 100m short course world mark which has been owned by her former great Australian rival, Atherton at 54.89 \u2013 and set back in 2019.<\/p>\n

In fact on the Australian all-time rankings, she sits third behind Atherton and another great Australian backstroker in Emily Seebohm<\/strong> (55.31) to Kaylee\u2019s 55.49 \u2013 which sits at 13th<\/sup> all-time on the world list.<\/p>\n

You get the feeling, whether it\u2019s tonight or in Budapest in three months\u2019 time that Kaylee McKeown might just be getting ready to set that record straight.<\/p>\n
