    Records

    Emma McKeon's list of achievements is staggering. She is the most decorated Australian Olympian ever, with 14 Olympic medals. At the Tokyo 2020 Games, she tied the record for most medals by a woman at a single Olympics, a feat only matched by Maria Gorokhovskaya in 1952. She also holds the record for most Commonwealth Games medals (20) and most golds at those Games (14). Her 20 World Championship medals place her among the greatest swimmers of all time. These records speak not only to her talent but to her remarkable consistency and versatility across multiple events.
