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 ¡ª once romantically linked to American rocker Miley Cyrus ¡ª 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 ¡ª the jilted lover out for revenge ¡ª including attempts to sabotage Simpson¡¯s Olympic ambitions.
