yeah, but that's OUR event, a silver is a loss when you're the defending champions. everyone reckons hackett was the wrong choice for the 1st swimmer - he started too slow, but what do you expect from a 1500m specialist. Hackett's just not the best choice for anything less than 400m. Still, Klim has sworn he will come back in 2008 to get revenge and so the saga of rivalry between Aussies and Yanks in the relays will continue...
