It was her fourth crossing of the channel in 16 days, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.The swimmer had received a travel exemption from the Australian government to travel to the United Kingdom amid the coronavirus pandemic and contest the men's record.McCardel surpassed Kevin Murphy who holds the record for the number of men's crossings after completing his 34th swim in 2006.He has been beaten only by British long-distance swimmer Alison Streeter, who has made 43 crossings."I am just so excited, it is a really special moment to really nudge ahead of all the men and be the second-highest English Channel swimmer in history. I am just elated," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted McCardel as saying.In 2016, McCardel set a record for the number of English Channel swims by an Australian with her 20th crossing.( With inputs from ANI )
