Inspiration from within for Australia's Rio Olympic siblings

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Brother and sister David and Emma McKeon didn't have to look far for support and inspiration to achieve their Olympic dreams. And if the swimming Campbell sisters — Cate and Bronte — need extra motivation during training sessions or races, they think of another member of their family — a disabled brother.

The Brisbane-based McKeons and Campbells are two of seven sibling combinations already named on the Australian Olympic team to compete at the Rio de Janeiro Games in August, and there are at least two more sets expected to be included soon as the delegation grows to about 400 athletes.
