Sunshine Coast swimmer Kaylee McKeown has finished with two gold medals and a silver at the world championships in Singapore.
McKeown won the 200 backstroke on the weekend to add to her win in the 100 backstroke…she was also part of Australia’s four-by-100 medley relay team which cam second last night.
Meanwhile, fellow Sunshine Coast swimmer Lani Pallister finished the world championships with a relay gold and individual silver and bronze medals.
In what experts have labelled the “race of the century”, Pallister finished less than a second behind Katie Ledecky of the US in the 800 metre freestyle on Saturday.
Pallister took almost five seconds off her personal best and is just the third woman in history to swim under 8 minutes, 10 seconds for the distance.
In other results last night….the coast’s Sam Short finished fourth in 1500m freestyle while Isaac Cooper came seventh in the 50 backstroke.
