Hackett Comeback

AUSTRALIAN great Grant Hackett has confirmed his comeback to the pool after six years and has entered next April’s national trials. Hackett, who won 1,500 meters freestyle gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and defended the title four years later at Athens, had fuelled speculation of a return months ago after being spotted training with his old coach Denis Cotterell.

Rated one of the greatest distance swimmers ever, the 34-year-old Hackett flew to the United States in February to treat a dependency to Stilnox, a sleeping medication.
