CNN —Australia’s Kaylee McKeown broke the women’s 50m backstroke world record on Friday to become the first person to simultaneously hold the 50m, 100m and 200m backstroke world records. The world record is the 22-year-old’s third of the year and completes a hat trick of backstroke records for McKeown. David Balogh/Getty ImagesMcKeown is the first Australian to hold the 50m backstroke world record since Sophie Edington set it in 2008. It makes up for some disappointment for McKeown after she missed out on the 50m backstroke world record by just 0.04 seconds last week in Athens. World Aquatics first started keeping track of 50m world records in 1997.
