Australia's Emma McKeon has won two more gold medals in Tokyo, taking her medal tally at this Olympics Games to seven — the equal most by any woman in any sport in Olympic history.

The dual gold medals came in the 50m freestyle and the women's 4x100m medley relay.

ABC News reports McKeon has now won gold in the women's 4x100m relay, the 100m freestyle, 50m freestyle and women's 4x100m mixed relay and bronze in the 100m butterfly, women's 4x200m relay and mixed 4x100m medley relay.

No Australian has won 10 Olympic medals or more than medals in one Game.

ABC News reports only one woman in any sport in history — Russian gymnast Maria Gorokhovskaya in 1952 — can match her haul of seven.
