I just got an e-mail from Steve Munatones, who tells me Grant Hackett was disqualified in the 10K qualifier for Beijing. Not many details available yet, but Steve is writing updates on the Swimming World web site as news becomes available.

Is it unusual for bumping to happen in a longdistance open water event??
Most problems start at the start. Then comes the turns marked by a bouy. Drafting is another problem, I was hit by a Yugoslavian swimmer, on the right arm, (his name was Klime) for about 2 miles while he drafted off me until I punched him.
Lots of punches, elbows, kicks, and swimsuit grabbing goes on.
Now it is a big DQ for drafting. here are the results of the race swimming.about.com/.../offsite.htm
