Kaylee McKeown goes from hunted to hunter at Paris 2024 Games after Regan Smith smashes her 100m backstroke world record at the US Olympic Trials.
Kaylee McKeown said she was disappointed to come within 0.08 seconds of breaking her own 100m backstroke world record at the Australian Swimming Trials last week.
McKeown had said she was "nervous to see what she does" at the US Trials, but it's unlikely that she would have anticipated such a huge jump from the 22-year-old American."It was part of the plan," Smith told journalists after her swim of 57.13, beating Katharine Berkoff, who became the fifth woman to swim sub-58 seconds, into second place.
But, for the first time since she broke the record at the 2021 Olympic Trials, McKeown will be forced to be the hunter.It seems she has every reason to be.
