Background:
Cate Campbell  has been hailed as the “next big thing in Australian Swimming”, and it’s not the young teenager’s height of 186cm they are referring to. 

Australia’s latest sensation originally hails from Malawi, Africa. The eldest of five children, the family moved to Australia when she was nine.
In 2008, competing in her first Olympic Games, Cate showed tremendous maturity winning a bronze medal in the 50m Freestyle, a tough event that punishes even the smallest of mistakes. A bronze in the longer 4x100m Freestyle relay is an encouraging sign for the future. Look out London 2012. 

Cate first came to prominence in 2006, when she claimed gold in both the 50m and 100m Freestyle at the Australian Age Championships as a 13 year old, but it was in 2007 racing at her first international competitions that Cate showed her true potential as a world class contender. 

Cate is not afraid to put herself out there in terms of performance. Campbell, at 15 years of age out swam the best in the world in Japan. Her sizzling time of 24.48 seconds elevated her to the 4th fastest woman in history and put the world on notice for Beijing.
