he retired when he was 24, actually, but i do agree. it did seem that his times were dropping, though, so he peaked too early
i reckon if hackett can pick up his game like a champ then thorpey could as well...
its ironic, he calls it quits cos it doesnt want swimming to be his security blanket YET he attends beijing, other major comps. for swimming... seriously, what else has the guy got? hes a legend at it, there's nothing wrong with that...
hope the thorpe is inspired by these games, and i would say we would've smashed USA again if thorpe was in the relay team.... *thinks back to 2000 olympics 4 x 100m freestyle FUCKYEAH* - maybe he'll come outta retirement?
his Arts degree at macquarie uni is for the lulz.
