Kaylee McKeown Pulls Out Of World Cup: “Putting My Mental Health First”<\/h4>\n

Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> has pulled out of the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup 2024, <\/strong>in order to put her “mental health first”.<\/p>\n

The Australian made the announcement on social media hours after winning the 50 back<\/a> in an Oceania record of 25.36 on the first day of the 2024 series in Shanghai.<\/p>\n

McKeown posted: “I would like to thank World Aquatics for the opportunity to come out and race at World Cups, it\u2019s been so much fun here in Shanghai\ud83e\udd18\ud83c\udffd<\/p>\n

“Putting my mental health first I\u2019ve decided to cut my experience short. As an athlete It\u2019s so important to listen to your heart and to know when enough is enough.<\/p>\n

“Time for a well overdue break. Peace and love to you all \u270c\ud83c\udffd\u2764\ufe0f”<\/p>\n

McKeown, who won the 100\/200 backstroke double at Paris 2024 among five medals, won over two lengths in China in the third-fastest time in history ahead of Regan Smith (25,70) and Ingrid Wilm (26.08).<\/p>\n

However, while she said it had been “fun,” there was a hint that maybe all was not well in her post-race interview when she said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am just excited to race\u2026..because racing and stuff like that is not something I am enjoying as I usually did.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing off the Olympics, you go from such a high to such a low.\u00a0I am struggling to find the motivation to push myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing this for such a long time and I really just need to take some time away from the pool.\u00a0After the World Cup events, I will go home to enjoy myself outside of swimming.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Among those responding to the four-time world record-holder was Tokyo 100 fly champion and\u00a050 back s\/c world record-holder and\u00a0 Maggie MacNeil<\/strong> who said: “Proud of you stud for putting yourself first \u263a\ufe0f”\u00a0World Aquatics said: “Take some rest and enjoy your time off \ud83d\ude4c See you next year stronger than ever \ud83d\udcaa\ud83d\ude0a”<\/p>\n

McKeown was named on the Australian squad for the World Short-Course Championships<\/strong> in Budapest in December before withdrawing four days later,<\/p>\n

Australia teammate Mollie O’Callaghan<\/strong>, winner of the 200 free in Paris, said: Congrats on an amazing season! We\u2019re all so proud of you\ud83e\udd0d Now it\u2019s time to enjoy some well-deserved rest \ud83d\udca4”<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old lowered the 100 back short-course WR<\/a> to 54.56 last month at the Australian Championships, slicing 0.33 from Minna Atherton’s<\/strong> standard of 54.89 that had stood since 2019.<\/p>\n

That followed her exploits in the French capital where double backstroke gold was accompanied by silver in the medley relay plus bronze in the 200IM and mixed medley relay to bring her Olympic medal haul to nine across two Games.<\/p>\n
