About Greg Hammond

Born 1967. Greg Hammond is an Australian sitting volleyball player and para swimmer.

Gregory John Hammond , OAM (born 10 May 1967) is an Australian Paralympic swimmer who also competed at an international level in sailing and volleyball.

Personal Hammond was born on 10 May 1967 in Sydney, with a shortened right forearm. While growing up around Manly, one of his favourite sports was sailing. At the 1988 Seoul Paralympics, he won two gold medals in the Men's 100 m Breaststroke A8 and Men's 100 m Freestyle A8 events, and a silver medal in the Men's 4x50 m Freestyle Relay A1–A8 event. During his swimming career, he was coached by Peter Ryan and Harry Gallagher.

He gave up swimming after the 1988 Summer Paralympics because he had achieved all his goals in that sport, and concentrated on sailing. He was part of a Sonar team that was aiming to participate in the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics, but it did not qualify because it came ninth in a pre-games regatta in Florida. In 2010, he received a Medal of the Order of Australia "For service to sport, particularly through achievements as a paralympian".
