Kaylee McKeown one step away from another record at Swimming World Cup 2023?

After witnessing the mind-blowing performances by Kaylee McKeown, it is absolutely safe to say that she definitely ruled both Berlina and Athens. These two stops have been incredibly wonderful for the Australian backstroke phenom. She has been continuously creating world records and securing prestigious titles for herself in the competition. Be it the 100m backstroke, or the 200m backstroke, she has created world records in both the events in the World Cup. However, just by a mere seconds of 0.04, she couldn’t create a world record in the 50m backstroke.

Pondering upon this, the Swimming Stats shared a list of swimmers who created world records in the 2023 World Cup across 50-100-200 events. On day 3 of Athens, McKeown was slightly left behind from creating a new record on the 50m backstroke. At the moment she stands at the second position in 50 with a time of 27.02.

The caption to the list carried, “Last weekend, Kaylee Mckeown was just 0.04 seconds off the women’s 50 backstroke world record.” It further carried that she is the only woman who can become the only active swimmer to hold world records across 50m, 100m, and 200-meter events.
