It´s funny he said before that he had never swum in a 50 m pool. Why didn´t he at least practice swimming once in the SEA???

"How did he make it to the Olympics?! "

"^^ He didn`t Eisntein. "

It was the Heats AT the Sydney olympics, he received a special invite to compete

Moussambani gained entry to the Olympics without meeting the minimum qualification requirements via a wildcard draw designed to encourage developing countries without expensive training facilities to participate.

Muufley Do your research before you answer so you dont sounds so dumb. Did you listen to the clip at all?

Moussambani was denied entry into the 2004 Olympic Games due to a visa bungle, despite the vast improvement in his swimming over the previous four years, with his personal best down to under 57 seconds. Nor will he be taking part in the 2008 Summer Olympics

@ Muufley, actually he did make it to the Olympics he competed in the 2000 Sydney Olympics on a special program that gave people from all over the world the chance to compete no matter their time they just had to be the best from their country.

He was dubbed "Eric the Eel" after his efforts and for some1 who had only swam in a river previously he did pretty good IMO, respect to Eric...
