This year’s edition of the Sydney Open is almost upon us with Australia’s arsenal of talent descending upon Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre beginning on Friday, May 12th.

Olympic champions Kyle Chalmers, Zac Stubblety-Cook and Kaylee McKeown are among the top contenders ready to rumble ahead of next month’s World Championsips Trials.

However, Bronte Campbell is also among the entrants, expected to race in her first competition since the 2020 Olympic Games.

Representing the Cruize Swim Club out of Canberra, 28-year-old Campbell is entered in the women’s 50m free and 100m free events.

A two-time world champion in 2015 and 3-time Olympic medalist, Campbell has been riddled with injuries in the last few years of her storied career.

She indeed helped the green and gold take the top prize in the women’s 4x100m free relay, as well as contributed to the Aussies’ mixed medley relay bronze in Tokyo. However, a shoulder injury prevented her from competing at the 2021 International Swimming League (ISL) playoffs for Team LA Current.

‘C2’ also opted out of the 2022 long course and short course World Championships, as well as the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Most recently she was sighted along with Olympic champion sister Cate Campbell at Australian National Team Event Camp on the Gold Coast in February of this year.
