RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Australia turned to the best sister act in swimming to hold off an American team anchored by Katie Ledecky.
Give the gold to Cate and Bronte Campbell.
And a world record, too.
The Campbells carried their squad to victory in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay Saturday night at the Rio Olympics, with little sister Bronte snatching the lead from Dana Vollmer on the third leg and big sister Cate pulling away from Ledecky on the final down-and-back for a time of 3 minutes, 30.65 seconds.
The Aussies broke their own mark of 3:30.
