It just didn't feel good or quite right, it did not feel like I got on my stroke.
"Grant George Hackett" Order of Australia/OAM is an Australian former swimmer most famous for winning the men's 1500 metres freestyle swimming/freestyle race at both the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. This achievement has led him to be regarded as one of the greatest distance swimmers in history. He also collected a gold medal in Sydney for swimming in the heats of the 4×200 m freestyle relay. He is well regarded for his versatility, and has held the long course world record in the 200 m, 800 m, and 1500 m freestyle. He has dominated the 1500 m event for a decade, being undefeated in the event in finals from 1996 until the 2007 World Aquatics Championships. In total, he has won 10 long-course world championship gold medals.
Hackett was the captain of the Australian swimming team from the time the role was reintroduced in 2005 until his retirement in 2008.
Hackett worked for the Nine Network, often hosting Wide World of Sports. Hackett's contract as a Westpac Banking Corporation ambassador was not renewed in February 2012 after 13 years in the role, but he remains an employee of the organisation.

Yeah certainly getting swimmer of the meet and all that sort of stuff, and you still have the (Michael) Phelps's, the (Michael) Crockers and (Aaron) Peirsols, and all those great competitors and it is just honour to have something like that.
My body felt extremely tired, ... I've got five or six gears in me, but I was crunching to get into second without a clutch. It was a tough day.
I am sure he is at home feeling motivated by watching this and wanting to step up again, ... I am looking forward to the challenge of swimming against him.
We understand the stage we're in and some people just don't understand we're a small country. We don't have the college system that the US has got. They have so many swimmers but I don't think the low will stay for too long.
I work very hard and pick the tough events or rather they pick me more so, and it is nice to come away and be appreciated.
It was feeling a bit tough out there tonight. A tough swim. It has been a big programme, and I'm happy with the results I got.
