Women's 100m backstroke

News summary

At the Paris Olympics, Kaylee McKeown successfully defended her title in the women's 100-meter backstroke, finishing with an Olympic record time of 57.33 seconds, ahead of the United States' Regan Smith who took silver. This victory marks McKeown's fourth Olympic gold medal and solidifies her status as a major competitor in women's swimming. Meanwhile, Emma McKeon clinched her sixth Olympic gold and 12th medal overall as part of the Australian women's 4x100m freestyle relay team, which swam the second-fastest time in history. The relay team's victory was particularly meaningful for Shayna Jack, who returned from a doping ban that kept her from competing in Tokyo. McKeown's triumph and McKeon's relay success highlight Australia's dominance in swimming at the Olympics, with the nation currently leading the gold medal tally in the sport.
