Perth January 1998 after the 400m freestyle final - came 2nd to Ian Thorpe |

| World Championships, Perth January 1998, after winning the 1500m freestyle - poolside |
"I think I could be World Champion, I think that's what was going through my mind I could see Brembilla at each turn down the far end I could see I was making ground on him at each turn and I was just going yes, yes." |

| Grant on the Panel talking about his early swimming days - very funny clip | "When I was seven years of age, it started at the under eight's, I'd always think I was winning and I'd come in and I'd touch and I'd go everyone's here" - laughs | |
|
|
"I
remember 4 years ago just watching the Commonwealth Games and watching people
like Kieren Perkins and Daniel Kowalski and now to actually be there it's
a totally different thing. You know, you've still exactly the same person
you're just doing all these extra things and it's quite amazing." |

| Grant on Hey Hey It's Saturday | "Whenever I want to relax I sort of go home and play the guitar. I live in the granny flat of the house so I 've got a drum kit and stuff out there" | |
| Talks about his results at the Commonwealth Games in the 400m freestyle | "Yeah the 15 year old beat me, little Ian Thorpe." | |
| Grant talks about his rivalry with Kieren Perkins | "You know this rivalry is doing great things for the sport and not only that it's doing great things for me as a person to be able to cope with that sort of stuff and not only cope with it but thrive off the pressure and learn how do deal with it." | |
| Grant talks about his dad being a policeman and his recognizable car | "My dad being a police officer and all and the bright canary and the swimming and stuff like that it's fair to say that every police officer seems to know" | |
| About Kieren Perkins | "Why would I want to get up against Kieren Perkins when he's slow? I want to get up against Kieren Perkins when he's at his best." | |

| This is Grant's dad, Nev, talking before the 400m race at the World Championships, Jan '98 | "I think they'll handle it OK because they're all therein a room together, they've got Michael Klim in there to show them the ropes so they'll be OK." | |
| This is the introduction to the item on 60 Minutes about Grant. In the background is Grant on drums and his brother Craig on guitar. | "With his big brother Craig is a rare moment of relaxation. This teenager, all 2 meters of him, lives life to a very different beat to the rest of us." | |
