Grant Hackett on his career, his rivalry with Thorpey, and WINNING

Brett speaks with friend and Australian distance ace, Grant Hackett.

Grant is arguably the greatest distance swimmer to ever live winning the Men’s 1500 in back-to-back Olympic Games (2000 & 2004). He is a 7x World Champion in the same event (4 in LCM, 3 in SCM).

He broke World Records in the 200/800/1500 LCM Free as well as the 400/800/1500 SCM Free. His 7:23 in the 800 SCM is still the fastest in human history.
