Cate Campbell’s comments from a television interview last year have made their way onto NBC’s prime-time coverage of the USA swimming trials.
Cate Campbell’s infamous “sore losers” barb has made its way to NBC’s prime-time swimming coverage and into the lounge rooms of millions of Americans after Michael Phelps and a number of high-profile athletes expressed their bewilderment at comments that have lit the fuse ahead of the Paris Games.
“When we’re right next to each other in the warm-up area, the US has this infernal cowbell that they ring, and as someone leaves to go to the competition pool, they ring out ‘U-S-A, U-S-A’ and I have never wanted to punch someone more and steal that cowbell.”the comments were said in jest and not meant to be disrespectful. They have, however, become a talking point at the USA’s swimming trials this week in Indianapolis.
Lily King, an Olympic gold medallist and world record holder in the 100m breaststroke, is one of the most outspoken members of the USA team who rarely holds back. She was also surprised.“It’s just funny to me that it gets on their nerves that much. That’s amusing,” King said on NBC’s coverage. “Is it going to be worse if they beat us than somebody else? Yeah. I’m glad everyone is jealous of the pride that we have for our country.
Cate Campbell is surrounded by her fellow competitors after swimming the final of the women’s 50m freestyle.The USA narrowly beat Australia on the medal table at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago.
