Get To Know Aussie Olympians Outside The Pool (Videos)

The Australian Olympic team arriving in Rio shortly contains a roster of 34 total athletes. Of the 19 women and 15 men, 13 swimmers will be contesting their 2nd consecutive Olympics, including sprint star Cate Campbell, who is competing at her 3rd Games.

We’ve seen what the green and gold can throw down in the pool in the form of Campbell’s recent 100m freestyle World Record and Cameron McEvoy’s fastest-ever 100m freestyle swim in a textile suit. But, what about their personalities outside of the pool?

The Dolphins team put together a series of ‘Rio Class of 2016’ videos, playfully asking teammates to vote for which of their fellow Aussie Olympians would fall into such school yearbook type-categories as “Most Likely to be Prime Minister” and “Most Likely to be a Movie Star.”

Take a look at the entertaining videos and see how your guess sizes up to each category. *The actual winner is listed beneath each video. All videos courtesy of the Australian Dolphins Swim Team.
