Grant Hackett
Born: May 9, 1980
Events: 400m, 1500m

Grant Hackett one of Australia's finest athletes considers himself physically and mentally prepared for the Beijing Olympics.

According to Chinese astrology Grant was born in the year of the metal monkey. However, what determines his characteristics is the day of birth. And is it any surprise that this happens to be the day of Yang water. He is a little weak in this element and so needs it above all else, and this is what underpins his drive to succeed in the pool.

This divinely protected and charismatic leader of the Australian swimming team not only has a fierce competitor in this event according to his chart, but is also in clash with the year. It may well be touch and go in this event.
