This week on the show Cate and Bronte take you through all the results from the Australian Swimming Commonwealth Games Trials and tell you why the Games are being held in Glasgow instead of Victoria.

The New York Knicks broke a 53 year drought by winning the NBA championship at the weekend. Their captain Jalen Brunsen put on the performance of a lifetime and prompted the question: what mindset makes a winner?

Plus Cate admits to being soccer ambivalent but is happy to jump on the bandwagon during the World Cup. Is it ever okay to jump on a sporting team’s bandwagon? Or are sports teams for long term fans only?

This week on the show Cate and Bronte unpack all the drama from the French Open. From crowning two new Grand Slam champions 19 year old Mirra Andreeva and 29 year old Alexander Zverev. Both athletes had very different journeys to their maiden slam wins and reminded us that sport is not predictable and that’s why we love it so much.

Bronte and Cate then delve into the revenue share debate at the French Open which leads to a heated discussion about whether Olympians should be paid prize money.

It’s a juicy topic, let us know what you think.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to a very special episode of Campbells and Co. Bronte officially announces her retirement from swimming.

She leaves the sport as one of the greats. Four Olympics, three Olympic gold medals and multiple world records. But her legacy is so much greater than the achievements in the pool. She was an integral member of the Athlete Leadership Group, President of the Australian Swimmers Association and helped implement swimming's first pregnancy policy.

Cate and Bronte reminisce about her time in the sport - the highs and the lows. Bronte shares how she came to the decision and what she plans to do next and why the best years of her life are still to come.

We hope you enjoy this very special episode of Campbells and Co.

Join Bronte and Cate as they tease an exciting, exclusive episode dropping on Sunday June 7th!

This week on the podcast Cate and Bronte have a little chuckle at the absolute flop that was the Enhanced Games. Bronte reckons she could jump in the pool now, busted ACL and all and still swim faster than the 4th place getter in the women’s 100m freestyle.

The main topic this week is around parenting elite athletes. It’s rare to have one Olympian in a family - let alone two. So what did Mr and Mrs Campbell do to instill excellence, dedication and perseverance in their children? The answer might surprise you.

If you like the show, be sure to send it to a friend or family member.

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells and Co.

It’s a rough old dating world out there - but it can be even more tricky to date as an elite athlete. There is the sports bubble, the restrictive lifestyle, the all-encompassing nature of pursuing an Olympic dream, traveling for months at a time and not having a ‘normal’ work schedule.

Cate and Bronte share their own experiences with dating and bust a few myths along the way.

If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend (or partner).

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells and Co.

If there is one question we get asked most often, it’s how do you manage sibling rivalry? Over the years we have given many different answers to this question. There is the polite ‘it was always a shared dream, so it’s great to do it together’. There is the almost true ‘if I can’t win, I at least want my sister to win’.

While neither of these answers are wrong, they do not fully explore and elaborate on the complexities of competing with and against your sister on the world’s biggest stage for over a decade.

Cate and Bronte share their tips for any siblings or parents struggling with this - because while competing at an Olympic Games against your sister is rare, the notion of sibling rivalry is commonplace in many households around Australia (and the world).

If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your sibling (or maybe parent).

We hope you enjoy this episode of Campbells & Co.

Welcome back to another episode of Campbells and Co.

This episode Cate and Bronte chat about the marathon world record. Kenyan Sebastian Sawe crossed the London marathon finish line in a staggering 1:59.30 - that’s an average running speed of 21km/h. .

However, that was not the only extraordinary feat that race. Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha was only 11 second behind Sawe, running 1:59.41 in his London marathon debut.

After the race, Sebastian Sawe was pictured holding up his shoes - which caused controversy when they were first released as critics claim it gave runners too much of a boost.

It raises the question, with not one but two men breaking the two hour barrier for the first time in an official race, was it the shoe technology that led to this feat? Or was the 2 hour marathon barrier a psychological barrier that once crossed, opens the door for others to follow?

Let us know, we’d love to hear your thoughts.

We hope you enjoy this episode of Campbells & Co.
