At the Paris Olympics, Kaylee McKeown made history by successfully defending her Olympic gold medals in both the 100m and 200m backstroke events, becoming the only Australian swimmer to achieve this feat. Meanwhile, Cameron McEvoy claimed his first Olympic gold in the men's 50m freestyle, finishing in 21.25 seconds and edging out Britain's Benjamin Proud and France's Florent Manaudou. With these victories, Australia leads the swimming medal tally with seven golds, five silvers, and one bronze, showcasing their dominance in the pool. McEvoy's win marked him as the first Australian man to secure gold in the shortest swimming event at the Games. The competition has been intense, with former champion Caeleb Dressel finishing sixth in the 50m freestyle final. The Australian team continues to build momentum as the swimming events draw to a close.
