Australian hotshot Kaylee McKeown pointed her finger at the timing board, pulled the trigger then coolly blew away the 'smoke' after powering to her second gold medal at the Tokyo Games with a perfectly timed 200m backstroke swim.
The 20-year-old Queenslander became the first Australian woman to win the event, which came after she took gold in the 100 on Tuesday.
McKeown's father died of cancer last year and she has a tattoo on her foot which reads: "I'll always be with you". She said she has felt his spiritual presence by her side in Tokyo. McKeown's victory gave Australia seven golds from the Tokyo pool, one shy of the record eight they won at the 1956 Melbourne Games.
