Swimming Aus agree to major reform | 00:29Kaylee McKeown has written herself into swimming’s history books, breaking another world record to complete a rare treble.
After giving the mark a scare at the previous meet in Berlin, McKeown became just the second swimmer to dip under 27 seconds, shaving 0.12sec off the previous record set by China’s Liu Xiang in 2018. It means McKeown now holds the world records in the 50m, 100m and 200m backstroke — a remarkable feat that cements her status as the undisputed queen of backstroke.Kaylee McKeown reacts to breaking the 50m backstroke world record. She is just the second swimmer to hold all three backstroke world records after American Lenny Krayzelburg broke the 50-100-200 treble at the 1999 Pan Pacific Championships.
She won both those events as well as the 50m backstroke at this year’s world championships in Japan, holding off American rival Regan Smith.
