KAZAN, Russia (AP) – Little sister upset big sister and the rest of the world in the 100-meter freestyle.
Bronte Campbell led all the way against a strong field at the world championships Friday, winning in 52.52 seconds.
“I still can’t believe that,” she said.
The 21-year-old Australian sprinter was under world-record pace at the turn, with older sister and defending champion Cate Campbell in close pursuit.
Bronte earned the biggest international victory of her young career with the fastest time in the world this year, knocking her sister and Femke Heemskerk of the Netherlands out of the top spot they shared.
