McKeon wins record 11th Australian Commonwealth gold

SPORTS 31.07.2022

Emma McKeon set a new Australian record of 11 Commonwealth gold medals by storming to victory in the women's 50m freestyle in Birmingham on Sunday.

Text size:

She came to Birmingham with eight golds in two previous editions of the Games -- two behind fellow Australian swimmers Ian Thorpe, Susie O'Neill and Leisel Jones.

Two relay golds at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre put the 28-year-old, who won seven medals at last year's Tokyo Olympics, level with her retired compatriots.

On Sunday she became the outright record-holder in style, powering home in 23.99sec to see off the challenge of compatriots Meg Harris and Shayna Jack.
