Australia’s McKeon retires from swimming

Swimmer Emma McKeon, Australia’s most decorated Olympian and an eight-time world-record holder, retired from the sport on Monday aged 30. McKeon won 14 Olympic medals, six of them gold, over the Rio, Tokyo and Paris Games this summer.

“Today I am officially retiring from competitive swimming,” she said on Instagram, along with a collage of clips showcasing her many career highlights.

“Leading into Paris I knew it would be my last Olympics and the months since have given me time to reflect on my journey and think about what I wanted my future to look like in swimming,” she said.
