He would not have an opportunity to compete for any international medals this year and whether he gets an opportunity to do so in the future remain to be seen. Even if he does not get that chance, his career has been planetary.

A four time Olympic medalist and the ex- world-record holder in the 200 and 100 breaststrokes, Brendan Hansen is very eager to make his spirited come back to the game at Santa Clara International Swim Meet in the upcoming month, one of the largest stops on the USA Grand Prix Series. It is going to be Hansen's first spirited incursion since the Beijing Olympics.

Presently, Hansen is one of a number of impressive swimmers to get back in the water. Nevertheless, unlike Australian star Ian Thorpe, Hansen by no means legitimately retired and, thus, does not have to sit action because of anti-doping regulations. So, Hansen will make his comeback within month’s time, with Santa Clara serving as the barometer of his present standing.

When Hansen previously made his appearance, he managed the breaststroke leg of the four hundred meter medley relay that gave Michael Phelps the 8th gold medal of his record-breaking shoe at the Beijing Games. Hansen is going through from serious training from past couple of months and has specified he is eager to make come back and is very happy with the way things are going right now.
