Olympic swimming champion Kaylee McKeown has withdrawn from the lucrative World Cup series in China to prioritise her mental health as she presses pause on her career to take a break from the sport. The 23-year-old, who already has five Olympic gold medals to her name, had been in Shanghai for day one of the first leg of the competition. She had initially planned on taking a break after the World Cup, but has moved that decision forward.
” McKeown has had a massive year already, having defended her 100m and 200m Olympic backstroke titles in Paris earlier this year. She was also one of the stars of the World Cup series last year, winning the overall women’s title as she broke a number of world records along the way. The decision to pull out comes just weeks after McKeown did the same thing for the world short course championships.
