Australian swimmer Kaylee McKeown has withdrawn from the 200m individual medley at the Tokyo Olympics due to a heavy schedule.
McKeown is ranked No. 1 in all three of her individual events, but has opted to focus on her other two backstroke races and the relays.
Australian head coach Rohan Taylor cited workload and schedule management for her shock withdrawal.
“It’s a big call,” Taylor said.
“And I respect the decision. They’re going to focus on the backstrokes and the medley relay.”
Subsequently, the Australian swimming team will have no representative in either women’s individual medley event in Tokyo.
