I remember this swim at Sydney - and think he achieved a country record and personal best ... that to me is what the Olympics are about. Competing and doing your best.
The main difference here is that Aussies love anyone willing to have a go. This stupid reporter doesn't get it. The crowd on their feet cheering him on shows it to be one of our favourite moments from these games. Quote "Remember Eric has swum faster then anyone in his country has before."
Oh, yeah, oops, I forgot...that can't be the explanation because 'difference is only skin deep', 'race is a societal construct' and physical anthropology & biology is racist
Additionally, when they reach as high levels of fitness as the elite swimmers in terms of aerobic fitness the negroid physiology keeps too much fat off their bodies and without adequate bouyancy, they sink like a rock and must devote far too much effort to just maintain a horizontal trajectory.
You can see both of these factors at play in the video (esp. the underwater shots).
Negroids cannot excel in swimming because their length of torso to length of leg ratio is too low to allow them to plane through the water efficiently.
For different people, it meant different things....god, its funny to tease this man, its fun to belittle and talk down on him. Its easy, yes -no doubt, but is it right? No.
Now, the big question. Would you have jumped in that pool? I wouldn't have. And yes, that simple cowardice I so easily admit would have saved me ridicule and dishonor. It would have saved my pride a beating that it could not have taken.
And as I poke fun at this man I think to myself...well, at least he got in the pool.
This was the funniest thing I saw in the olympics, the Roy and HG commentary was hilarious, a name I will remember forever.... Eric 'the fish' Moussambani.
@guilhermecruz Negroids have radically different physiology and structure than caucasians. The differences become stark when the competition becomes elite. The negro torso to leg length ratios are too low and their bodies are not bouyant enough due to less body fat relative to caucasians. Negroids end up expending too much energy just to maintain a horizontal trajectory to be viable competitors in swimming.
@rsoarch7 Your comments are a sign of racism/ignorance or hate but completely unscientific. I've been a swimmer since age 8; from 1959-1963 I swam competitively, and was a junior lifeguard. After joining the U.S. Marine Corps, I trained and worked as a reconnaissance operator. Although, this Eric lad put up a dismal performance, for you to cast such a sweeping net over an entire group of people is intellectually dishonest.
His stroke is weird it looks Luke he's stabbing the water with his hands and aren't you supposed to let your hand glide into the water? And his kick has issues if his legs were straight he would go a lot faster.
Actually he did 54 in 100 free,and funny thing is that in his whole country there was not a single pool...Imagine that there is not a single pool in USA,you gotta give respect to this guy,and he's so happy,that's a true olympic spirit :)
What a lot of people don't know is this guy carried on training and four years later was down to 57 seconds. Still no challenge for Phelps but still a respectable time for a club swimmer. He was due to go to Athens 2004 but never went went due to visa problems. Adrian is just a miserable turd for his comments. Yeah he did win Olympic Gold but the true great Olympians like Daley Thompson, Mark Spitz, Emil Zatopek or Seb Coe wouldn't ever come out with such unsporting remarks.
@Randy1337 Why shouldn't he go? He's from a country in where if you want to learn to swim you have to go to a river or the sea and there probably aren't any swimming teachers either. Young kids back in his homeland were probably gathered around an old telly cheering him on, experiencing a bit of the olympics and the world coming together. It made him happy and the other swimmers in Sydney appeared to appreciate his presence. The Olympic spirit isn't about multi million dollar sponsorship
As a swimmer it's pretty obvious to see his many issues. With some time put in he could cut HUGE amounts of time off by just simply correcting a few major flaws; breath control being probably the biggest. His lung capacity looked to be so shot at the end that he'd have been better off doing backstroke and staying in alignment than trying to breath every other stroke (every stroke?) and practically swimming vertically.
you know, much respect for him but somewhere there would be a person training his whole damn life to get to the olympics and meybe he will not achieve it for 0.01s, thats not fair
He actually got his time down to 57 seconds by 2004 but couldn't compete in the Olympics because of a visa bungle. He didn't do bad here considering he only took up swimming 8 months prior to the Olympics and had practices in a 20m pool.
I bet if you go on the African youtube you'll get a video with 5 million views with black people laughing at white people run... lol. btw i'm white, PEACE OUT.
Someone said in one blog that Eric had been improving since then and set about 53 secs in 100m freestyle. I am not sure of this, therefore I'd love to see that here.
Andy Jameson, the other commentator, who won bronze in 100m butterfly at 1988 Olympic, gave positive comment when Eric finished the race by saying : "Eric Mousambani of Eguitorial Guniea wins heat 1 of 100m freestyle". I like Andy J.
I challenge anyone watching this video to 1) try and swim 100 meters without stopping 2) try and beat his time of 1.52 i bet most people could not first of all swim the distance and second of all would be luckyg to swim it in under 2mins.
@Ripvanwinklesdream I agree with you. I myself, who have already correct technique of freestyle compared to average people, until now feel not ready yet to swim 100m. The longest distance I have ever swimmed freestyle is 75m. I feel I have to improve my breathing technique first and do some physical training such as running, etc before I get ready to swim 100m. Btw my goal this year is 200m free.
@Ripvanwinklesdream Defending a swimmer at the Olympics who looks like he's never trained at all (his form looks like someone who just started!) is kind of foolish. I don't swim particularly fast when I do laps and I average 1:30 to 1:45 per lap and my fastest time is around 1:15-1:20, which is not fast at all. Search and watch the men's 100m freestyle at the 2011 IPC in Berlin, those are some swimmers that deserve respect.
well. at least he tried, we're just not built for swimming. ive become quite content with it. theres gotta be one sport we're not good at. good thing its a sport in an element we dont "have" to be in *shrugs*
The dude is a legend! Aussie culture makes me proud. A crowd of 2000 cheer this fella on and boo the american "elite" swimmers. Eric is humble and did his best good on him. As for the Americans, Aussie culture can be summed up with this quote.
"We don't boo Yanks because we think they are better than us. We boo yanks because they think they are better than us."
I can't believe how pompous ol Adrian Moorhouse is during this; "I'm not sure that level of performance should be allowed at the Olympics" not verbatim but close enough. Go do one, Moorhouse. This fella stuck to the rules and won fair and square, the real shame is on the other two "pro's", they should hang their heads. This fella swam with all his heart, never gave up and set a new record in his home country. A well deserved win. Check out how humble and gracious he is in the brief interview too
So I stumbled upon a TIME from 2000 in a laundromat today that talked about this guy and just had to look him up. I was only 17 back then and not paying attention to the olympics.... but man I wish I'd seen this... funny as hell!
as a Christian, i Believe that God will give us rewards which we dont deserve & though our enemy is much stronger than us, God will give us Victory!! this video is reminding me of all those TRUTH's. Thanks for uploading.. Congrats Eric Moussambani !!
I would rather watch dreamers like this going against proper athletes because even though they will never win they are what makes the olympics fantastic. It is such a shame they banned people like this.
@arsenalZizou I'm really sorry I made a mistake. My boy can could butterfly faster than the this useless dumbass. You sexually inadequate pedophile. PS go back to school and learn how to read & write you retard.
What the fuck man, haha, my english is perfect mate with a lil bit of street slang to it, Fuck It, well like I said we came to this video to watch Eric not some fucking useless kid of yourss, so shove that prick of yours down the toilet cause no one wants to hear bout him!
The Olympics is not about winning medals or breaking records. It's about showing pride and sportsmanship, not just to yourself but to your country. And I think Eric 'the Eel' Moussambani of Equatorial Guinea, has shown that.
Massive credit to the Aussie croud cheering on the underdog. You stupid fuck in retards from overseas clearly have no respect for your fellow man. Eric the eel has a place in so many Australian hearts. Oh and did I mention that he can say that he has competed at the olympics and you......... Can't. So fuck yourself you arrogant douches
I agree. There are lots of venues this guy could legitimately be in, but the Olympics is NOT one of them. Best to keep PC out of it, or else the Olympics will simply degrade to nothing more than some Leftist 'Equalitarian-Fest.'
This is the olympics, not the special olympics. You don't get points for trying your best. He really has no business being there. He didn't perform any better than any schmuk off the street could. If that's the best his country has to offer then they just should not compete in that event. It's an emberassment to his country and the olympics. And for all the people who said he only had 8 months to train. Really, that long and he still couldn't learn how to swim? I learned before kindergarten.
@AceofDlamonds He trained for 8 months this was his best performance. That is the point. Do you think I learned to swim in an olympic sized pool? Seriously he was training and this was his best. It should have been clear to all involved he had no business in the olympics. Far more gifted atheletes spend their entire life training and are indeed in an elite class and still never get the opportunity to compete in the olypics. This guy being there is like spitting in their face.
@agathayy they gave freebees to poorer countries. They put up posters in his village asking who wanted to go and hee said he did. Believe it or not he couldnt even swim when he first started :S
I remember this moment, people were encouraging him so loud! I would not do better. I would not have the guts to do what he did neither. I think many people are going to remember this moment. And many people enjoyed it, him as well. For sure he was not doped like so athletes are today. I prefer to see that in the olympics that doped athletes just cooked to die in the next 3 years... Well he had a dream and he made it happen. That's what the olympic should also be about.
How can anyone be slating him or the Olympics for letting this man take part? He represented his country in the biggest sporting spectacle in the world, and he finished his race, knowing damn well he was going to finish with a time much longer than everyone else. Good on him. Probably one of the proudest days of his, and his families life.

The Olympics is not about winning medals or breaking records. It's about showing pride and sportsmanship, not just to yourself but to your country. And I think Eric 'the Eel' Moussambani of Equatorial Guinea, has shown that.
That, my friend, is the true Olympic Spirit.

@Phaugirl No my friend, what you meant in your first paragraph is called CONFORMISM.
But, claps for Eric anyway, I respect him.

Massive credit to the Aussie croud cheering on the underdog. You stupid fuck in retards from overseas clearly have no respect for your fellow man. Eric the eel has a place in so many Australian hearts. Oh and did I mention that he can say that he has competed at the olympics and you......... Can't. So fuck yourself you arrogant douches

I agree. There are lots of venues this guy could legitimately be in, but the Olympics is NOT one of them. Best to keep PC out of it, or else the Olympics will simply degrade to nothing more than some Leftist 'Equalitarian-Fest.'

This is the olympics, not the special olympics. You don't get points for trying your best. He really has no business being there. He didn't perform any better than any schmuk off the street could. If that's the best his country has to offer then they just should not compete in that event. It's an emberassment to his country and the olympics. And for all the people who said he only had 8 months to train. Really, that long and he still couldn't learn how to swim? I learned before kindergarten.

@Fektthis i'm totally agree with you. It's also disrespectful to the other swimmers who were prepared, and have passed training for many years

he never swam in an olympic sized pool before or even a very big one...
ur learning to swim before kindergarden is irrelevant.
AceofDlamonds 1 year ago
@AceofDlamonds He trained for 8 months this was his best performance. That is the point. Do you think I learned to swim in an olympic sized pool? Seriously he was training and this was his best. It should have been clear to all involved he had no business in the olympics. Far more gifted atheletes spend their entire life training and are indeed in an elite class and still never get the opportunity to compete in the olypics. This guy being there is like spitting in their face.

@Fektthis
true but, for this particular nation entry, this was apparently their best swimmer, even the female swimmer for Equatorial Guinea was super slow.
And it wasn't exactly training for 8 months, more like started swimming 8 months ago.
In such a poor place without much formal training and funded athletics, what do you expect out of the people there?
Just pointing this out. I'm not supporting "unqualified" athletes.

I remember this moment, people were encouraging him so loud! I would not do better. I would not have the guts to do what he did neither. I think many people are going to remember this moment. And many people enjoyed it, him as well. For sure he was not doped like so athletes are today. I prefer to see that in the olympics that doped athletes just cooked to die in the next 3 years... Well he had a dream and he made it happen. That's what the olympic should also be about.
