Australian swimmers have swept the podium, broken world records, set milestones and won a mountain of medals at the Commonwealth Games pool, but all anyone wants to talk about is a supposed 'love triangle' with golden girl Emma McKeon at the center.
Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers and singer-turned-swimmer Cody Simpson — once romantically linked to American rocker Miley Cyrus — are the other two players in this frothy affaire de coeur that has been tabloid fodder for some time in Australia.
Chalmers has been largely portrayed as the villain — the jilted lover out for revenge — including attempts to sabotage Simpson's Olympic ambitions.
