Andrew's Story

Andrew Grant realised his Olympic dream in London as one of the team's senior members having played over 200 games for his nation, which included Australia’s inaugural Asian Championship victory in 2007, after making his debut in 2002.

Making his Olympic debut in 2012, Grant and the Australian team lost their first match to Argentina before knocking off hosts Great Britain in straight sets. Despite not winning a set against Hungary, the Aussies took a 2-0 set lead over Italy before the world’s sixth ranked team claimed victory 3-2. Grant and his teammates then pulled off one of the upsets of the Games when they defeated third ranked Poland 3-1. The Team’s final placing was ninth.
