MaximusRelaximus Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - i personally believe...that many u.s. americans...are unable to do so...because they don't have maps...

bk360 Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - you gotta fell sorry for everyone here, the disqualified swimmers, Moussambani because no one seems to recognize that he tried, especially those jackass commentators, and the crowd for siting through something unexpected with an expected outcome.

tricity Says:

Nov 12, 2008 - Anyone here saying "haha, he's so slow. i could beat that time and i'm XX years old" really needs to put things into perspective...I mean would you compare a five year old and a fifteen year old in a fight, it's obvious who would win due to muscle growth and experience. So please, don't diss the man for going out there and swimming beyond his limits because that takes brass balls.

If you are still going to leave retarded comments like some of the ones below me, please HEADBUTT A KNIFE! Then try and post your stupid comment. <3

swimbaby94 Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - haha something like this would never happen at olympic trials. lol

EVLWNS Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Actually, you tool, this really did happen. It was an officiasl trial. The man is now widely known as Eric the Eel, and is well regarded in Australia where this happened during the 2000 Olympics. The commentators weren't official ones, but a pair of popular comedians (pseudonyms H.G. Nelson and 'Rampaging' Roy Slaven) doing their own version.

EVLWNS Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Ah, Eric Moussambani, aka Eric the Eel. I remember seeing this on television when it happened. Warmed my heart to not only see this fellow from Equatorial Guinea (who trained in the only pool in his entire country, which was 20m) actually swim his heart out, but also to see my countrymen and women cheer him on wildly for his gallant efforts. Sadly, he has not competed again since.

wwnormando Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - i love how everyone is laughing in the background haha. That guy probably feels proud and humiliated at the same time.
