Australian Championships, Day 2: Kaylee McKeown’s 57.65 Maintains Her World Dominance In The Women’s 100m Backstroke En-Route To LA28<\/strong><\/p>\n

FULL RESULTS<\/a><\/p>\n

Backstroking\u2019s golden girl Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> has given her best indication yet that LA28 is definitely on her radar after yet another dominant showing to win the 100m backstroke on night two of the 2025 Australian Championships in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old four-time Olympic champion from Tokyo and Paris improved her own previous best time – clocking 57.65 \u2013 ahead of her own previous rankings leading mark of 57.73 – swum at last month\u2019s NSW State Championships in Sydney \u2013 that time after just nine sessions!<\/p>\n

McKeown was out in 28.29 and back in 29.36 \u2013compared to Smith\u2019s splits of 27.94 and 29.19 for her WR time of 57.13. With McKeown’s best friend Mollie O’Callaghan<\/strong>, fresh from her 100m freestyle win in 53.12 on night one, second home in 59.23 and Mollie’s St Peters Western training partner, Hannah Frederick<\/strong>s third home in 1:00.41.<\/p>\n

It was another effortless but stella showing of \u201cin season\u201d backstroke swimming from McKeown as she continues to claw her way back from the mental depths of coming down from the highs and dealing with the lows of high performance sport.<\/p>\n

And there is no mincing words with Kaylee McKeown who is also embarking on a third Olympic campaign and with a third different coach \u2013 with former British Olympic gold medal coach Mel Marshall taking over the reins from Michael Bohl, who took over from Chris Mooney.<\/p>\n

Kaylee being as frank as always, saying after her win that It\u2019s been hard getting back in.<\/p>\n

\u201c I\u2019m not going to beat around the bush.It\u2019s really hard to go from such a high level and back down to the bottom,\u201d said McKeown.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I believe it builds character and makes you stronger..,,,LA is looking good\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it is sure to conjure up yet another classic showdown with her arch rival and world record holder Regan Smith.<\/p>\n

No other name appears in the fastest 20 times ever swum \u2013 McKeown with 11 and Smith with nine; Smith with the top two \u2013 McKeown with 11 of the next fastest 18 times – her time in Brisbane tonight the 18th<\/sup> fastest and knocking a Smith time out of the top 20.<\/p>\n

Mouthwatering rivalry at its best…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
