@_i_was_a_mistake_: Eric Moussambani Malonga is an Equatoguinean swimmer. Nicknamed Eric the eel by the media, Moussambani won brief international fame at the 2000 Summer Olympics for an extremely unlikely victory. Moussambani, who had never seen an Olympic-sized (50 meters) swimming pool before, swam his heat of the 100 m freestyle on 19 September in the unprecedentedly slow time of 1:52.72. This was the slowest time in Olympic history by far, and Moussambani had trouble finishing the race, but he won his heat after both his competitors were disqualified due to false starts. Although Moussambani's time was still too slow to advance to the next round, he set a new personal best and an Equatoguinean national record. He later became the coach of the national swimming squad of Equatorial Guinea. MOST SHOCKINGLY AWKWARD MOMENT IN THE OLYMPICS 😱🤣 #CapCut #Moussambani #Olympics #swimmer #champion #winner #gold #old #incident #strategy #shocked #shocking #shocked #shocks #equatorialguinea #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #tiktok #viral #amazing #medal #goldmedal #race #racer #goldmedalist #summerolympics #sydney #equatorialguinea🇬🇶 #🇬🇶 #Olympian #1sttime #firsttime #swimming #awkward #horror #unlikely #ericMoussambani #eric #2000 #australia

It may be slow by the standards of the top swimmers but less than 2 minutes is still a fast time compared to average swimmers
