Forty-one-strong Dolphins team named for the GamesCate Campbell wished for the fairytale ending, but says her illustrious Olympic career finishes in peace and with love. The four-time gold medallist has failed in her bid to become the first Australian to swim at five Olympics. “By God, I gave it a really good crack,” Campbell said.
Campbell, who was Australia’s joint flag-bearer at the Tokyo Olympics of 2021, raced her first competition more than 20 years ago at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre. The full stop to her storied career came at the same pool. “I walked out tonight and I remembered that little girl who walked out behind those blocks for the first time and I remembered the joy and the love that I have for this sport. And I can leave the pool with peace and with love, which is a beautiful place to be.”
