Career

Cate Campbell started swimming at the age of nine shortly after her family moved to Australia from Malawi. At the Australian Junior Olympics in 2007, she won gold in the 50 m freestyle and the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay. At the Japan Open 2008 she was able to win over 50 m and even outperform the Olympic champion Libby Trickett . The Commonwealth record swam in 24.48 seconds . The student from Kenmore State High School in Brisbane competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing . For this she qualified as runner-up over 50 m and 100 m at the Australian eliminations. Over 100 m freestyle, she could not qualify for the final run. With the Australian relay team led by Alice Mills , Melanie Schlanger and Lisbeth Trickett, she won bronze in the 4 × 100 m freestyle behind the Dutch and US relay teams. She also won bronze in the 50 meter freestyle. At the 2009 World Swimming Championships in Rome , bronze was again added in the 50 meter freestyle.

Her younger sister Bronte Campbell is also a swimmer and, like Cate, reached the semi-finals of the 50 meter freestyle at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London . In the overall standings, Cate took 13th place on the track. She was far more successful with Australia's 4 × 100m freestyle relay. She won the gold medal alongside Alicia Coutts , Brittany Elmslie and Emily Seebohm .

At the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow , Cate Campbell won three gold medals: over 100m freestyle, with the 4 × 100m freestyle relay and with the 4 × 100m individual relay. She also won the silver medal in the 50 meter freestyle. The 4 × 100m freestyle relay, in which her sister Bronte also took part, set a new world record with 3: 30.98 minutes.

On November 28, 2015, she swam a new short-course world record over the 100-meter distance at the Australian Short Course Championships in the 200 meter freestyle competition. According to FINA regulations, it is possible to swim a world record on the section of a discipline, provided that the attempt is registered with the referee beforehand and the swimmer regularly finishes the competition in which the record attempt takes place. In the first 100 meters Campbell swam the new world record in 50.91 seconds, for the entire distance of the 200 meter freestyle she needed 2: 18.26 minutes and was therefore last placed.
