Biographie

Often regarded as the best relay swimmer Australia has ever produced, Cate Campbell boasts six medals - four gold, one silver and one bronze - in relay events at the Olympic Games. She also has two individual Olympic medals to her name.

Cate Campbell was born in Malawi on May 20, 1992, and was the eldest among four siblings. Her parents, Eric, an accountant, and Jenny, a nurse, were from South Africa.

While still very young, Cate was taught to swim by her mother. The seeds planted in the Campbell family home’s pool in Malawi blossomed when the Campbell clan moved to Australia in 2001. She took up competitive swimming and there was no looking back

She competed at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival 2007 in Sydney and won two gold medals - one in the 50m freestyle and the other as a member of the 400m freestyle relay team.

Cate made her Olympic debut at Beijing 2008 at the age of 16 and won two bronze medals on her maiden Summer Games outing. She managed a podium finish in the women’s 50m freestyle and the 4x100m freestyle relay, alongside Libby Trickett, Alice Mills and Melanie Schlanger.
