McKeown was so excited with the win that she couldn't contain herself while speaking in her post-race interview.
After an interviewer asked if there was anything McKeown would like to say to her family, she instantly replied with a celebratory, "F--- YEAH!" that was followed immediately by an "OH S---!" when she realized she had just cursed on television.
When she finally caught herself, McKeown let out an all-ages appropriate "WOOOOO!" to cap off her impressive win.
While television censors might not appreciate McKeown's language, after winning gold, it feels like whichever bureaucratic body runs Australian broadcasting can cut her a break just this once.
