Tokyo Olympics Swimming - Emma McKeon

The most extraordinary Olympic swim meet of all time ended on the most brilliant of notes as Emma McKeon has some fantastic races, in the process pushing Australia to its best performance ever in the Olympic pool.

Two Australian gold medals on the final day – McKeon in the 50m freestyle and then the women's medley relay team, McKeon again, winning an astonishing gold – ensured the Tokyo 2020 team became the most successful gold-medal winning squad in Australian Olympic history, with nine, one more than Melbourne 1956. In terms of individual medals won, they pushed their total up to 20, equalling the performance of the Beijing 2008 Australian Olympic Team.

McKeon became the greatest medal winner in Australian Olympic history - beating Ian Thorpe and Leisel Jones – and she is the first Australian ever to win four golds at a single Games. Taking her Rio 2016 relay gold into account, she now joins Thorpe as the only Australian ever to win five career golds. She is also the first Australian, woman or man, to win the 50m freestyle and only the sixth person ever to complete in the 50-100m freestyle double.
