At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Eric “The Eel” Moussambani of Equatorial Guinea swam the 100m freestyle despite never having seen a full Olympic-sized pool before. After both of his competitors false-started and were disqualified, Eric swam alone—setting a national record with the slowest time in Olympic history. With just eight months of limited training, his determination and courage captured global attention, making him a symbol of Olympic spirit! (Via: @olympics) #history #reels #sports #olympi
