It is not often that I am pleased by whatever I may read or see in a newspaper. But after seeing this picture of Australian champion swimmer Grant Hackett at the Herald Sun online, I feel positively good about myself.
Having now seen the before and after shots I still cannot fathom how his whole body shape changed within a matter of days! Gut, love handles, emerging man boobs - all gone! 3.5 litres of water and carbs does not do that and disappear so quickly!?! I'm all confuddled now and will need a lie down...with some choccy bikkies...
If you actually saw the video of him coming out of the water he was breathing heavily using his abdomen. So on breathing out he look to have a fat gut and this is when the shot was taken of him. Last nights news showed him in true physical form ready for th Olympics.
Ah yes, but have you just swum 10kms Andrew?
ReplyDeleteI would dare say your portly figure is due to drinking 10kms of alcoholic beverages.....
And he claims to NOT be overweight?!
ReplyDelete*Ahem* So we can all deny the existence of our tummies and aim to compete at Beijing, too?! :P
I heard him tell the people on the radio he was overloaded with water, 2.5litres of it..I am not so sure :(
ReplyDeletePresumably it gives him that extra bit of bouyancy.
ReplyDeleteHe looks damned fine in the paper now, though.
ReplyDeletePortly Anon????? Splutter splutter. Drink too much???? Splutter splutter.
ReplyDeleteWell, I do believe he is fit Jayne.
Lucky that he had a space to store the water Cazzie.
Just made me think Brian. You would not drink lots of water as it has no buoyancy.
He is a good looking guy Hawkeye, but silly enough to try and defend the obvious.

ReplyDeleteOh well, I will go back to feeling bad about my own body image.
ReplyDeleteWhy such a useless tattoo? Attention seeking or something far more sinister - like the amount of shares he has with Telstra.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the case, I think he's a waste of media space and therefore makes apt blog discussion.
Andrew,
ReplyDeleteThat's true about the bouyancy. However, if he took a leak during one of his swims, it might give him a bit of a jet boost.
the number isn't a tatt, it's his competitor number.
ReplyDeleteI love Granty.
NOBODY should feel bad about their body for chrissakes.
Life is not a contest.
Elle Macpherson weight-trains 5 hours every day to be the way she is - she's nuts.
Well thanks for that enlightenment. I guess the assessors need stronger glasses.
ReplyDeleteBut did you see the photo of him the day after? Guess it shows what a big bowl of pasta can do!
ReplyDeleteI just saw the photo this morning Rosanna. Remarkable!
ReplyDeleteThe only time I feel better about myself is when I see photos of those really scary big muvvas. Then I feel totally sylph-like.
ReplyDeleteOh dear......
