Kaylee McKeown Shatters 50m Backstroke World Record
Australian swimmer Kaylee McKeown broke the women's 50m backstroke world record, becoming the first person to hold the 50m, 100m, and 200m backstroke world records simultaneously. With a time of 26.86 seconds, she surpassed the previous record set by China's Liu Xiang in 2018. This marks McKeown's third world record of the year and solidifies her position as a top contender for gold in all three distances at the upcoming Olympics Games in Paris.
