This is huge. No longer will Open Water be a poor stepchild.
Among the interesting questions:
1. Which, if any, of the current distance aces will swim 1.5K/10K
rather than 1.5K/0.4K?
2. Which of the great club programs will devote more than lip service
to open water?

Hackett may hit open water
By Todd Balym

DUAL Olympic 1500m freestyle champion Grant Hackett will consider
adding the new 10km open water event to his 2008 Beijing Games program.
The announcement today that men's and women's 10km open water races
would be staged at the Beijing Games, four years earlier than expected,
saw leading Australian exponents Brendan Capell, Josh Santacaterina and
Trudee Hutchinson shelving early retirement plans to continue on to
2008.
But the party will be tempered somewhat with the news Hackett, the
world's greatest distance swimmer, will consider tackling the race if
it fits into his already hectic schedule.

Wow - that was unexpected. I'd written off the possibility. It gives
Ky Hurst (trains with Hackett, used to compete in surf Ironman) a good
shot at an olympic spot.
