Interesting Fact:
Craig, Grant's brother, did a test on Grant and found he could only bench press 40kg, while Susie O'Neill could press 50kg. After 3 months of training he has got up to 80kgs. "His 200m world record was the first we knew we succeeded," says Craig.

Interesting Fact:
Grant was allergic to dust and continually staying in badly ventilated hotel rooms didn't help him. His dad, Nev built him a room in the house that was tiled with no carpet. To stop his immune system running down Grant changed his diet. His mum, Margaret says "he was a real garbage guts before, heaps of chocolate and soft drinks. Now it's dairy, light soy milk on his cereal - 20 bowls a day though he's cut down now since being told it's too much."

Interesting Facts:
At the beginning of '99 Grant went to Canada for 'a change of atmosphere and something a little bit different.'
Olympic Quote:
"Today has been a dream result i knew i had more speed than anyone else in the race, having qualified for the 200 and 400 finals. This turned out to be my lucky day"
Olympic Quote:
"I questioned myself after the 200 and the 400 alot,
but the 1500 was always my main race I was prepared
to hang on and not care if i was half dead or not"
