FLASH: Kaylee McKeown Shatters 100 Backstroke World Record at Aussie Short Course Champs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australian swimming\u2019s \u201cMiss Unstoppable\u201d Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> has tonight continued her world record backstroking assault, setting a new short course global mark in the 100m backstroke in Adelaide, clocking a time of 54.56.<\/p>\n

McKeown, fresh from her history-making second Olympics in Paris, and only just returning to the training pool, took 0.33 off fellow Australian Minna Atherton\u2019s<\/strong> 2019 world mark of 54.89.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old was pushed all the way by her fellow Paris teammate Iona Anderson<\/strong> (Breakers, WA) – who also clocked a personal best of 55.79 to finish second and Gemma Cooney<\/strong> (Brisbane Grammar, QLD) third in 57.80 – to christen the opening night of the four-day Australian Short Course Sprints at the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre (Trials for the December SC World’s) in typical McKeown fashion \u2013 swimming faster than anyone else has ever swum<\/p>\n

But there was no catching the world\u2019s greatest ever female backstroker who looked as smooth as ever with her 54.56 (12.82; 26.69; 40.59) seemingly effortless \u2013 as she now prepares to defend her 100 and 200m backstroke crowns at the 2024 World Short Course Championships in Budapest in December.<\/p>\n

Kaylee admitting it was tough to comedown off the enormous high of her golden Olympics and also revealing she is yet to confirm her availability for the December World SC in \u00a0Budapest.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI had some solid down time after the Olympics and only decided to do the Short Course at the last minute but it\u2019s been fun and very humbling to go to training and not make it through some sessions,\u201d said McKeown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been great\u2026(the Olympics) has been a huge whirlwind\u2026and something I never thought I would be able to achieve.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it has definitely been hard off the back if it\u2026.people don\u2019t realise just how much of a high it is and then to come back down again\u2026it has been a struggle and I have been pretty open with that but like I said I\u2019m here swimming so it\u2019s making me a bit happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was going a bit stir crazy, sitting at home, so decided to jump back in two and a bit weeks ago, and just increasing the sessions. I don\u2019t mean to toot my own horn but we\u2019re doing some pretty incredible stuff at training,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll see how I feel after World Cups (in October\/November) \u2026 and see if I want to do World Short Course in December \u2026 but I’m not putting any pressure on myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With Michael Bohl<\/strong> taking a well deserved break, McKeown has been training under Janelle Pallister \u2013 assistant coach to Bohl at Griffith University, a 1988 Olympian and mother of teammate Lani, on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cJanelle\u2019s been an absolute legend. She\u2019s taken us on board and obviously she\u2019s been under Bohl for a few years now, so she knows what she\u2019s doing. Lani also produced a great swim tonight, so did a few other young swimmers,\u201d McKeown said.<\/p>\n

The four-time Olympic backstroking gold medallist from Tokyo and Paris \u2013 now holds four of the six world records in Long Course (50 and 200 backstroke) and Short Course (100 and 200m).<\/p>\n

In earlier record-breaking action, Queensland\u2019s emerging teenager Edward Sommerville (<\/strong>Brisbane Grammar, QLD; Coach – <\/strong>Bobby Jovanovich) took just 1:40.64 (23.55; 49.04; 1:14.89) to announce his arrival onto the world stage. The 19-year-old, one of the young guns of Australian swimming upset Paris Olympian in a new Australian record time of 1:40.80 set by Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> in 2015 \u2013 and just 0.94 outside the world record of 1:39.70) held since 2012 by Frenchman Yannick Agnel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While 23-year-old Paris Olympian and one if the real finds of Australian swimming over the past two years Josh Yong <\/strong>(UWA West Coast, WA; Coach: Ben Higson<\/strong>) set the second Australian record of night one, clocking 56.76 (26.86).Yong took 0.13 off the 2020 National mark set by Olympian Matthew Wilson<\/strong> to continue his climb up the international ladder \u2013 swimming into the top 25 all time in the world. He powered home past early leader 20-year-old Joshua Collett (<\/strong>Bond, QLD) 57.29 and Nash Wilkes<\/strong> (Southport, QLD) 57.68 \u2013 both Yong and Collett under the Budapest QT.<\/p>\n

Paris Olympian, 4x200m freestyle golden girl Lani Pallister<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) won in a personal best time of 1:52.73 -the fifth fastest time by an Australian of 1:55.60. Dual Olympian (Rio and Tokyo) Lah Neal<\/strong> (Rackley, QLD) finishes second in 1:53.60, Abbey Webb<\/strong> (Cruiz, ACT) third in 1:54.72 and Brittany Castelluzzo<\/strong> (Tea Tree Gully, SA) fourth in 1:54.82 \u2013 all girls under the QT (1:55.60) for the World SC Championships in Budapest in December.<\/p>\n

For the 22-year-old, who missed her two main events in Paris to then win gold in the 4x200m freestyle relay team, her December date for World \u00a0Short Course a panacea after a mixed Olympic campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cBudapest is just fun. I think it’s going to give me an opportunity to just enjoy racing, for the sake of racing without expectation. I just want to go and race, spend time with my friends, and kind of fall back in love with swimming,\u201d Pallister said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy campaign in Paris wasn’t one that I expected or one that anyone else expected. I don’t think anyone really anticipates Covid and pulling out of two individual events at your first Olympics. So that was pretty tough to deal with coming home.\u201d<\/p>\n
