However, the real Cate Campbell will step up in Rio. Cate was recovering from major shoulder surgery at the 2015 titles but has reclaimed form that earned her the 2013 100m world title. Cate upstaged Bronte in the 50m and 100m at the Olympic trials, clocking a 100m winning time just 0.31 outside Britta Steffens supersuit world record. The sisters should also inspire the 4x100m freestyle relay team who are Olympic defending champions.Mitch Larkin - (100m, 200m backstroke, 4x100m medley relay):?Unknown before the 2015 world titles, Larkin is now a marked man.

Looks set to exorcise her demons after dominating Olympic trials.AthleticsJared Talent - (20km and 50km walk):?With justice finally served - albeit almost four years too late - Tallent will arrive in Rio as the defending 50km walk champion. Tallent will again contest both Olympic walks, but the longer event is clearly his strong suit.SailingMat Belcher and Will Ryan - (470):?Bidding to make it three gold medals in a row for Australia. Ryan replaced Malcolm Page after London. They won three world championships in a row before finishing third in terrible conditions in the most recent event in Argentina. Strong chance for gold.GymnasticsLauren Mitchell:?A world champion on the floor in 2010, Mitchell is Australias best ever chance of securing a first Olympic gold in gymnastics. Her routines on the floor and beam are among the best in the world, and it will all come down to her execution on the night.RowingKim Brennan - (womens single scull):?Unbeaten since 2014, two-time world champion single sculler Brennan (nee Crow) is Australias best gold medal hope. The daughter of former AFL player Max Crow, Brennan was an elite hurdler before switching to rowing in 2005. Brennan achieved the rare feat of competing in two events at the London Olympics, winning a silver and bronze medal, but this time will channel all her energies into the single scull.James McRae, Cameron Girdlestone, Sasha Belonogoff, Karsten Forsterling - (mens quad scull):?Taking gold in the last two World Cup regattas heading into Rio, the mens quad scull will start favourites in Rio. Forsterling and McRae were part of the Australian crew that won bronze at the London Games. Their biggest threat will come from world champions Germany and Great Britain.CyclingAnna Meares - (track sprint):?Unlike London, where she beat arch-rival Victoria Pendleton for the sprint gold medal, Meares will go into Rio without being the reigning world champion in any of her three events. But the Australian camp is adamant she will be ready to fire.Annette Edmondson - (track endurance):?Edmondson was world champion last year in the omnium and team pursuit. She was hit by a car in training just before this years worlds and did not win any medals, but should be a strong podium contender in her two events.BoxingShelley Watts - (60kg):?Made history two years ago by becoming the first Australian to win a womens boxing gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, taking out the lightweight division. While the 60kg is stacked with talent, Watts is adamant she can win the gold medal.

Then DeMarco Murray took the Titans opening play from scrimmage, running 75 yards for a touchdown. He finished with 123 yards and also threw a TD pass, becoming the first non-quarterback to do that for this franchise in the same game since Earl Campbell on Sept. 7, 1980, for the then-Houston Oilers.Brian Orakpo had two of Tennessees five sacks, and the Titans also forced three turnovers .The Packers (4-5) started a three-game road swing by losing their third straight.

That was one of only two blemishes in the opening quarter. Tennessee outgained the Packers 231-26 in the first quarter and led 21-0. Murray cut inside left tackle Taylor Lewan and outraced everyone to the end zone for his longest TD this season, and he capped the next drive with a 10-yard TD pass to Delanie Walker.PACKERS HOLEGreen Bay trailed by as much as 35-10 before a late TD in the first half. It was the Packers biggest deficit in the first half of a game started by Rodgers, topping a 21-point deficit against the Giants in 2012.MURRAYS DAYThe Titans running back also matched Campbell for the franchise record with a rushing TD in his fifth straight game.
