Emma McKeon has said farewell to the Olympics with a silver medal — and a fully clothed dive — as the women’s 4x100m medley relay team wrapped up a successful week in the pool for Australia. On a night the unheralded Meg Harris claimed a surprise women’s 50m freestyle silver and the men’s 4x100m medley relay team finished sixth, McKeon soaked up her last swim in an Olympic pool in the very last event of the program.
Earlier, Harris had “no words” for pulling out a silver in her first individual Olympic final. “You always go out there with the hopes that you’re going to do your best,” she told Nine. “I would’ve done everything I’ve ever given to do that moment. “Usually I get here and know what I’m going to say but I just don’t.” Shayna Jack finished last but celebrated being in Paris as a triumph following the doping ban that took her out of Tokyo contention three years ago.
