WOMEN’S 100M FREESTYLE – FINALS

2013 World Champion: Cate Campbell, AUS – 52.34
World Record: 52.07 – Britta Steffen, GER – 2009
Championship Record: 52.07 – Britta Steffen, GER – 2009

GOLD: Bronte Campbell, AUS – 52.52
SILVER: Sarah Sjostrom, SWE – 52.70
BRONZE: Cate Campbell, AUS – 52.82

The younger sister, Bronte Campbell, finally finds herself sitting on top of the podium after being stuck in the shadow of older sister, Cate Campbell. The women’s 4×100 freestyle relay gave us an early indication that this may be the result, as Bronte out split Cate, but a relay is always different than an individual swim.

Sarah Sjostrom earned the silver medal with her time of 52.70 and Cate Campbell finished third for the bronze at 52.82.

Ranomi Kromowidjojo was the first person off the podium with a 53.17. Her teammate, Femke Heemskerk, finished directly after her in fifth at 53.58. Simone Manuel was the final swimmer to finish under 54 seconds with a final time of 53.93.

Missy Franklin and Shen Duo rounded out the final at 54.00 and 54.76.

Gotta love the Campbell sisters. Cate looked absolutely thrilled for Bronte despite her own result. If they can stay healthy — and maintain their healthy rivalry — over the next year, they’ll be absolutely dangerous in Rio.

Right, but today marked a paradigm shift — daily competition and rivalry can be incredibly productive, but there’s a fine line between that and becoming toxic. Here’s hoping the Campbell sisters can continue to harness this to their advantage over the next year. If the post-race reaction by Cate is any indicator, they will. 🙂
