Three triumphs, two world records and the series champion crown mean it’s been a highly lucrative weekend in Budapest for the Australian swimmer.
Australian swimmer Kaylee McKeown completed an extraordinary weekend in Budapest with a third race win and the title of overall women’s World Cup champion earning her a big payday.
Her consolation in the 200m was a World Cup record of two minutes, 04.81 seconds, which lowered the mark she had set the previous weekend in Athens but didn’t threaten her own world record of 2:03.14 set in Sydney in March. “It’s really nice to bring these results back home to Australia. We can’t always be thinking about the Olympics because it can be overwhelming, so I often wake up thinking about training.”The Michael Bohl-coached swimmer showed no signs of fatigue as she reached the first turn 0.01 of a second ahead of world record schedule in the 200m.
