Kaylee McKeown was unable to hold back her excitement in her live television interview after winning the gold medal in backstroke swimming at the Tokyo Olympics
The Tokyo Olympics have given us a hoard of moments to cherish in. From the best athletes in the world showcasing their mettle and writing new records at the games to players unleashing pure bits of emotion, the Olympics have regaled us with strings of exquisite sporting action.
Another incident to titillate us was offered by Australia’s Kaylee McKeown after she ended up winning the gold medal at the games. In an incredible bit of swimming, Kaylee needed a measly 57.47 seconds to complete the 100m backstroke race, a time which not only won her the gold medal but also set a new world record at the Olympics.

Kaylee was elated ensuing her win and rightfully so. Speaking to Nathan Templeton from Channel 7 after her triumph, a joyous Kaylee ended up using explicit words to describe her win.
“What did you like to say to your mum and your sister for now?” asked Templeton.
Kaylee’s response was a hilarious one as she shouted, “F**k yeah” before immediately covering her mouth and saying ‘o shit’ during the interview after realising she was on live television.

Kaylee’s raw show of emotions meanwhile is completely understandable. Not only was it the biggest moment in her sporting career but she had managed to get her hands around the gold medal after having only lost her father recently which made the win all the more emotional and special.
Meanwhile, the Australian swimmer’s mother was asked what she though about her daughter abusing on live TV to which Sharon McKeown replied, “Swearing on TV!? I will have a word to her later. It hasn’t sunk in.”
Her sister was equally thriller at Kaylee winning the gold medal as she spoke about how beautiful she looked on television.
