World's Worst Olympic Swimming Trial
A classic in all ways possible. Olympics is all about doing your best. Challenging yourself. Doing things you never thought was possible. For the swimmer Eric "The Eel" Moussambani this is very true. He signed up to swim even though he is really a volleyball player, hadn't even swum in a 50 meters pool before and never this far" before". The reason was to get enough attention to have sponsor to built a first sport center in his home country, Equatorial Guinea. He surely didn't win any medal, but he did succeed to build a sport center.
A truly inspirational swimmer and person!
