SHE’S one of Australia’s top contenders for more Olympic glory in Rio.
Cate Campbell qualified for the Games as part of a sister act and then created history by winning gold in the 4x100m freestyle on day one of the Olympics with sister Bronte by her side.
Cate and Bronte are one of numerous sets of siblings racing in Rio but possibly the best chance of more medal glory for Australia.
Our swimmers have made an early mark on the pool in Rio thanks to the gold medal winning efforts of the 4x100m relay team and Mack Horton.
But we’re hungry for more and Campbell is the one who can deliver.
