Australia&rsquo;s Emma McKeon has become the first female swimmer to win seven medals at a single Olympics as she won two more gold medals at the Tokyo Games on Sunday.</p>
<p>
The 27-year-old smashed the Olympic record to win the 50-meter freestyle in 23.81 seconds, clinching the Tokyo sprint double after her victory in the 100.</p>
<p>
A mere 30 minutes later she was back in action as part of Australia&rsquo;s 4&times;100 medley relay team. McKeon powered a strong butterfly leg before anchor Cate Campbell raced home for the gold medal.</p>

McKeon joins Michael Phelps, Mark Spitz and Matt Biondi as the only swimmers with seven medals at a Games. Phelps had won a record eight in Athens and Beijing.</p>
<p>
Russian gymnast Maria Gorokhovskaya is the only woman to have won seven in any other sport. The feat was accomplished way back in 1952.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;That&rsquo;s also very surreal,&rdquo; said McKeon, whose father and brother were both Olympic swimmers.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;It still feels pretty surreal. I never thought I would win two golds in one session &hellip; I&rsquo;m very proud of myself,&rdquo; McKeon said on television.</p>
<p>
McKeon said she &ldquo;grew up watching the swimming and watching amazing athletes do amazing things in Australia.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;I grew up wanting to do a similar thing and so I was literally the same kid as these children are.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
&ldquo;Growing up in sport, it is a pretty cool thing to be a part of. If you work hard and enjoy what you are doing and go after your dreams anything is possible,&rdquo; she added..</p>
