She emerged from the Olympic final without a medal after the weight of pressure left her well shy of her best. In response to questions about O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s emotions this week, Campbell, who started her Rio campaign with gold in world-record time with teammates in the 4x100m freestyle, revealed that she made healing a priority soon after the solo 100m final.<\/p>\n<p>That race delivered one of the least expected upsets and outcomes in Olympic swimming history:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first tie for gold since 1984, in 52.70, an Olympic record, went to\u00a0African-American <strong>Simone Manuel<\/strong>, the first black Olympic swimming champion among women in history, and <strong>Penny Oleksiak<\/strong>, at 16 and 2 months not quite the youngest 100m freestyle champion in history but the first Canadian ever to win four solo medals in the pool at a single Games (American <strong>Sandra Neilson<\/strong> was\u00a016 years and 9 days when she claimed Munich 1972 gold).<\/li>\n<li>Bronze went to Sweden&#8217;s <strong>Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong>, whose 52.99 finish made the race the first 100m final where the medals went below 53 and whose medal made her the most decorated Swedish woman\u00a0at a single Games ion the pool with one orb of each colour.<\/li>\n<li>A little over a month before that, Campbell sent shockwaves through the world sprint sorority with a 52.06 world record, the legendary <a href=\"https:\/\/ishof.org\/dawn-fraser-(aus).html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Dawn Fraser<\/strong><\/a> on hand to celebrate with the latest pioneer of two-lap speed.<\/li>\n<li>It felt like the Rio race could not be lost. But it was, the crunch crushing: Campbell, in sixth on 53.24, had swum 11 times inside what it took to win; 25 times inside 53; 42 times faster than the best she could muster that day in Rio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The commentary that couldn&#8217;t keep pace with the unexpected:<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rio Replay: Women&#039;s 100m Freestyle Final\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GgK6u_CkTPs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Three years on, speaking to <em>Phil Lutton at The Sydney Morning Herald,<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/sport\/it-was-like-looking-in-a-mirror-cate-campbell-can-relate-to-o-neill-20190917-p52s8d.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Campbell said that watching O&#8217;Neill break down had been like looking in a mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8216;I wrote out everything that I thought other people would say about me&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>In Rio, she prepared for &#8220;an onslaught of negativity from the public, media and even herself&#8221; by writing down the worst possible scenario from every quarter.

I wrote out everything that I thought other people would say about me, or said about me. I wrote the things I said to myself, then I wrote out all the worst things the public could say about me, then all the things Simon [Cusack, coach] could say about me.
