McKeown clocked 26.86 seconds to beat the previous mark of 26.98 set by Liu Xiang of China in 2018. That made her the first woman to hold the world records in the 50, 100in July and won the 100 and 200 at the Olympics in Tokyo. The 50 backstroke is not an Olympic event. “I just wanted to get out fast tonight and see what I can do,” McKeown said. “I never saw myself as a sprinter so it’s really nice to have that under my belt.”
