Cate Campbell dominates Australian swimming awards
Nothing can break Cate Campbell’s spirit and that is why she is now the toast and face of the Australian swim team.
Capping what has been a remarkable career fight back, Campbell last night dominated Swimming Australia’s awards night, named swimmer of the year, people’s choice and swimmer’s swimmer for 2013.
Campbell beat fellow world champions James Magnussen and Christian Sprenger for the major awards proving she is now the most respected and loved swimmer within the team and by the Australian public.
Australians love a fighter and Campbell has overcome more adversity than most, beating glandular fever, post-viral fatigue, hip injuries, pancreatitis and a broken arm during her short career.
