Explore the latest developments concerning Kaylee McKeown had.
Olympic great Kaylee McKeown has revealed she won’t race internationally for the remainder of the year and says losing her 50-metre backstroke world record has lit a fire inside her ahead of a historic quest for glory at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The 25-year-old, who missed the recent Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and Pan Pacific Championships in California due to glandular fever, is prioritising her health and will sit out World Cup events in October, as well as the World Short Course Championships in China in December.
McKeown, a five-time Olympic gold medallist, said earlier this month she hoped to be back racing on the world stage later this year, but she and her coach, Michael Sage, have agreed to instead target next year’s longcourse world championships in Budapest.
Real Housewives, spring cleaning and three dogs – that was Kaylee McKeown’s recovery before targeting an unprecedented LA28 backstroke three-peat.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Under Armour today launched "Commit", its new brand platform that brings to life the commitment stories and moments of athletes who keep showing up for the sports they love.
The platform reflects Under Armour's belief that what draws people back to the track, the court, the gym and the field goes beyond results. It is the strength, growth, freedom, joy and fulfillment discovered when they truly commit to something they believe in.
While sports narratives have long spotlighted championships, records and breakthroughs, Under Armour is turning its attention to what happens before the outcome: the first breath of cold air at the start of an early run, the instinct to take one more rep after training ends, the courage to get back up after a fall. For Under Armour, commitment is never a decision made in a single moment: it's written into the stories of showing up, again and again.
