I think he can swim faster than at our trials and, if he does that, it certainly makes him a medal contender in the 400m. |
I think he showed at the state championships (last month) that he's back ready to go pretty quick. I've got no doubt that he'll go pretty quick. |
I think some of the guys prepared poorly, |
I think sometimes people think, 'We'll leave it for Grant to do'. |
I will probably hear more in the next day or so. His last tests showed an improvement and he has increased his training somewhat. |
I would expect that most of them will be swimming quicker now than they were a month ago because they are close to tapering for the Commonwealth Games trials. |
I would like to see who is going to step up in the men's middle distance area. |
I'm not excited yet. It's still day by day as far as I'm concerned. It does appear as if he has turned a corner though, which is something. |
I'm taking video evidence of a number of incidents over the last two years which happened at the Olympic Games, the world short course championships and the world championships, |
If it happens again, we would have to look deeper into it. |
If that's what he and (his coach) Tracey (Menzies) think is the best thing to do then we'll be giving him every opportunity to recover well. I would say another couple of days might make all the difference. |
If we don't win the first one, we will go on to the next one. |
In a country of 1.3 billion people, they have an obvious advantage. |
It is an extraordinary coincidence, you start to think there is more to it, but nothing has been found yet. If it happens again, we would have to look deeper into it. |
It looks very much like a glandular fever or chronic fatigue kind of thing. |
