Old comments have been recycled to fire up the American team before the two nations vie for supremacy in the Paris pool
owbells. Australia’s Olympic swimmers could be hearing them in their sleep, and definitely will be hearing them in their waking hours at the Paris Olympic pool, after the US-Australian rivalry ignited this week.
NBC commentator and US Olympic gold medallist Rowdy Gaines said the US team would use Campbell’s words – serious or not – as extra motivation for Paris. Will it be a major factor in Paris? “Once that fuse is lit, it can’t be stamped out,” he said. “From America’s point of view, and NBC’s, it’s a big deal. That Cate Campbell video will get replayed a lot.”“Cowbell” was already becoming code for the rivalry among swimmers on the pool deck in Indianapolis, where the US finally revealed their strength at their nine-day trials meet.
