Barcelona, Aug 3 (IANS): Cate Campbell gave Australia their third gold when she swam to victory in the women’s 100 metre freestyle in the World Swimming Championships here.
Campbell swam home ahead of Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom, who took silver, while Olympic silver medallist Ranomi Kromowidjojo was third Friday, reports Xinhua.
Meanwhile, Missy Franklin’s quest for a clean sweep of seven golds came to an end as she could only finish fourth.
Campbell led from the start of the race and had a clear lead at the turn before powering home to finish in 52.24, ahead of Sjostrom’s 52.84.
“I can’t believe its just happened. This has never happened to me and I am so relieved,” said Campbell.
