Hackett facing 10km test
Grant Hackett is testing the 10km swimming event this Sunday in preparation for the Beijing Olympics. He is also looking to win gold for the third time in the 1500 meters.
“I need to do one of these 10km events before the Australian Championships and I am really excited to race on Sunday, really looking forward to the experience actually,” Hackett said.
“I will still work just as hard in the pool and gym this week and won’t be interrupting my normal training routine but this event is something different and that’s great at this stage of my career,”
