Swimmer Cate Campbell doesn't just want revenge on her sister Bronte - she wants revenge on the world.
The superstar siblings of the Australian pool will take another step towards next year's Olympics at the Australian Short Course Championships this weekend in Sydney.
At this year's world championships in Russia, Bronte stepped out of her older sister's shadow by winning the 100m freestyle and next year's final in Rio is shaping as a mouth-watering showdown between the two.
Bronte has emerged as a star of the pool in her own right after winning the 50m and 100m double at the world titles.
Cate's preparation for Kazan was interrupted by shoulder surgery and she has since had a measure of revenge against Bronte with four victories from four races at the recent World Cup series in Asia.
After a two-week break earlier this month, they are back in training and focusing on April's Olympic qualifiers in Adelaide.
Cate said she had not taken the loss to Bronte personally and their sisterly love was stronger than ever but the former world champion wanted to climb back to the top of the mountain.
"All's fair in love and war and sport - even when you're fighting against your sister," Cate said.
"It's not personal. I'm friends with a lot of the guys I compete against. It's not like I'm a rugby league player and I have to squish her head into the ground when I come in for a tackle. It's not just me against her - it's me against the rest of the world."
At the Australian short course championships at Sydney's Olympic Aquatic Centre, the sisters will go head to head in Thursday's 200m freestyle, Friday's 50m freestyle and Saturday's 200m freestyle. Bronte will also compete in the 50m backstroke.
Bronte said their relationship and training dynamic hadn't changed since the world championships and she wouldn't be thinking about her sister heading into Rio.
"We compete when we're in the swimming pool but it's not personal," Bronte said.
"It's very business-like. It's worked for someone like Serena and Venus Williams; they managed to destroy each other's dreams on the court. I think we can line up with six other athletes on the edge of the swimming pool without really worrying about the other person too much."
On Wednesday's opening night of competition, London Olympian Jessica Ashwood made a record-breaking return home, setting an Australian and Australian all-comers record in the 1500 metres.
Ashwood, 22, clocked 15:43.83 to take just over two seconds off the previous mark of 15:45.89, set by Laura Crockart in 2013, in an eye-catching 60 laps.
This year's world championship 400m freestyle bronze medallist now holds the Australian long course records for 400m, 800m and 1500m freestyle and the 1500m freestyle short course record.
Fellow Queenslanders, 18-year-old Moesha Johnson took silver (16:09.80) and Australian open water star Chelsea Gubecka claimed bronze (16:15.79).
The Sydney-born Ashwood, who moved to Brisbane just over 12 months ago to train with noted Olympic coach Vince Raleigh, has her sights set on her second Olympics in Rio next year in the 400m and 800m freestyle.
Ashwood went through the first 400m in 4:11.84 and the 800m split in 8:25.71, admitting she was doing it tough.
"I'm normally not very good at short course. I struggle in terms of the tactics with the longer distance, so I think I went a bit too hard too early," Ashwood said.
"I struggled a little bit with the turns but it was a good outcome (in the end) so I'm happy with it.
"I was hoping I could go that fast and get the record tonight, so it's very exciting (a good start) to a meet where I'm really looking to improving on my times from last year and also working on my skills, like turns and dives."
The men's 800m went to Jacob Hansford in a personal best time of 7:45.07 from Ethan Owens (7:52.27).
