Kaylee McKeown has put aside family heartbreak to triumph in the 100m backstroke final, winning her first Olympic gold medal and Australia’s third in three days in the pool.
McKeown’s mother Sharon said: “Her dad would be so proud. It hasn’t sunk in. So happy and excited. Can’t wait to give her a cuddle. It’s been pretty tough. You know, COVID’s probably been a bit of a blessing and Kaylee’s been able to focus and fly under the radar. She’s done a great job.Asked about the swear word in excitement, McKeown snr laughed, before saying, “I will have to have a word to her later”.
After losing her father to brain cancer 11 months ago, McKeown pushed on with the guidance of her coach Chris Mooney. However, on the eve of the Games, McKeown withdrew from the 200m IM to focus on her individual races. Fellow Australian Madi Wilson finished fourth in semi-final two and will contest the final from lane eight.
