📜 Story:
In this heartwarming and inspiring video, we look at the incredible journey of Eric Moussambani Malonga, an Equatoguinean swimmer nicknamed "Eric the Eel." Join us as we dive into the story of his unlikely victory in the Summer event, where he swam the 100m freestyle in a record-breaking slow time of 1:52.72. Despite never having seen a Professional-sized swimming pool and having limited access to training facilities, Eric's determination and spirit won him the heat after both competitors were disqualified. Although he didn't advance to the next round, he set a new personal best and a national record for Equatorial Guinea. Watch as we explore how Eric's journey inspired a nation and led to his appointment as coach of the national swimming squad, becoming a symbol of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

An Olympic swimmer that can’t swim? How the hell did he make it through qualifying?

AlyDoubleJ

So this man had no formal trainning, went up against the world's best, gave it his all for two minutes and won. This is a Gigachad right here, this is awesome!

frankbob

Not only that, but he didn't have an Olympic size pool to train.
This is a sad but wholesome story.

Damn i watched it back in the day live on tv, nigerian homie almost drowned in an olympic swimming pool😂
Srsly tho like 40% of people dont know how to swim, make sure you teach your kids. I thought i was a late bloomer figuring it out at 10 but recently found out my friend didnt know till 17

For context: he was just someone who liked to swim for leisure at home in ponds etc but he had never been it any competition or proper swimming environment

He qualified because there were no outstanding swimmers at the time (in equatorial guinea) so they just picked him coz he swam regularly

Even if the record wasnt impressive, we should still praise him for being so brave

Can you imagine someone telling you:

"You will be competing with the best swimmers in the entire world, the whole world is watching and the competition is in foregin land" (you know you WILL lose) and still, youd say yes?

As a swimming teacher i can name everything “wrong” with his stroke. However this man still did something i cannot do - race in the Olympics!

What a Legend!. Eric became the national swimming coach of his country.

"Eric the eel" was a sensation at the Olympics because he tried and he finished...
He inspired his countrymen and many others across the globe to begin swimming too...
The Olympic spirit was celebrated that day in the true sense of the word...

A wise man once said:

"It's okay to be slow, as long as you don't stop moving!"

rolandbenedictumali

Imagine being the only person who did not start. If I was in his place, I would have been super nervous and actually jumped in

mrmaxboypvp

No joke, this is a sad story.
He could've easily got a medal for not drowning 😞

robwongls

After the Olympics, he went and trained and eventually got his 100m free time to a 57. While no where near as fast as he men’s world record, still decently fast.

How this even started was ridiculous. Not a single swimming instructor or athlete in the whole country? I feel bad for his pressure in the spotlight but, what a role model for perseverance and courage. God blessed him with 🥇.
