A top swimmer gave the Australian Olympic team a scare last night by pulling out of a heat at the Sydney Grand Prix as soon as he hit the water. Eamon Sullivan is the world record holder in the 50 metres freestyle. As he dived in, he was troubled by a back injury he sustained during training on Monday. Sullivan's coach says the swimmer should recover in a few days.
