With her two medals on Day 5 in Birmingham–bronze in the 100 free and gold in the mixed 4×100 medley relay–McKeon has become the most decorated athlete at the Commonwealth Games in history with 19 total medals.

McKeon’s record-breaking medal was the gold medal she won as part of Australia’s mixed 4×100 medley relay, where they went 3:41.30 to set a Commonwealth Games record.
Earlier in the week, it looked like Chad Le Clos would be the first to gain sole possession of the record; he earned silver in the 200 fly to tie for 18 with shooters Phillip Adams and Mick Gault. Two 4th place finishes on Day 5, however, allowed McKeon to surge past and take the record first. Le Clos will presumably be on the men’s 4×100 medley relay for South Africa.
The 28-year-old will likely be a part of the Australian women’s 4×100 medley relay on the last day of the Commonwealth Games, which gives her the chance to extend her medal count even further.
These two records come a year after a historic Olympic Games in Tokyo, where she earned 7 medals to become the most decorated Australian Olympian of all-time and the most decorated female athlete at a single Olympic Games.
The quiet assassin of all records.
She was the most successful Australian Olympian in Rio but she kind of flew under the radar. Then when she was the most successful Australian (and overall) Olympian in Tokyo, suddenly her overall record shot up to the greats. She only needs two medals in Paris to have the second most Olympic swimming medals after Phelps.
