ADELAIDE – A "stir-crazy" Kaylee McKeown smashed the women's 100m short-course backstroke world record after a last-minute decision to enter the Australian championships following her Olympic heroics.
Just weeks ago, the 23-year-old completed the Olympic long-course backstroke double in Paris, winning both the 100m and 200m gold medals.While many of her contemporaries are resting, McKeown said she was bored sitting at home and decided to enter the Australian short-course championships in Adelaide on a whim.
It paid off with a new world record of 54.56 seconds on Thursday evening, bettering the previous best set in 2019 by fellow Australian Minna Atherton. "I 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," she said.McKeown had already qualified for the December world short-course championships in Budapest courtesy of her Olympic victories, but said she was undecided whether to swim in Hungary.
"I'll see how I feel after World Cups ... and see if I want to do world short-course in December. But I'm not putting any pressure on myself," she said.Imran Khan cancels Rawalpindi rally on Sept 28China to give one-off handouts to needyCM Maryam Nawaz announced incentives for shrimp farmingIf you come to Punjab and break the law, you will get a response, Maryam Nawaz
