Tokyo sizzled and tempers boiled over on Sunday as the Olympic Games lurched into another drama when organisers said they were investigating an incident of athletes drinking together at the Village.
Fury exploded at the boxing venue where super heavyweight Mourad Aliev went into meltdown.when he was disqualified for a perceived headbutt, spitting out his mouthguard and kicking at it, punching at a TV camera and making offensive arm gestures.
Organisers had previously said athletes were permitted to drink alcohol only in their rooms and only if they are alone, as a precaution against the virus - a world away from earlier Games where many athletes celebrated long and hard after their events. The feat saw McKeon join Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz and Matt Biondi as the only swimmers with seven medals at a Games. Russian gymnast Maria Gorokhovskaya, in 1952, is the only woman to have won seven in any other sport.
The U.S. ended with 11 gold medals, five fewer than in Rio and London. Australia won nine, their most swimming golds at a Games, and Britain left with four golds as part of a record haul of eight total medals. Instead she has performed just one single vault and has remained on the sidelines to focus on her mental health.
