Emma McKeon stands alone as Australia’s greatest Olympic champion after separating herself from Ian Thorpe at the first opportunity in Paris. The 30-year-old drew level with her fellow swimming legend on five golds in Tokyo and had to wait three years to get another crack at the record. McKeon wasted no time taking out her sixth win, and 12th medal overall, as Australia won 4x100m freestyle relay gold on the first night in the pool.
“Couldn’t happen to a better person, really.” The 41-year-old said it was clear McKeon, having already announced this will be her last Olympics, was taking it all in and “enjoying these moments”. “She is the most successful swimmer, the most successful Olympian, in our country,” he said. “She should be celebrated for the person that she is, what she’s been able to deliver for the sport.” McKeon will now eye off more gold medals to extend her lead at the top.
