[Cabbs]

Those two must have felt really, really stupid.

 

[CompMan]

hahaha lmao, that was funny as hell!

Isn't the Olympic Trials based on time though? So he could still lose from people on other heats.

 

[hascet]

And the dude was slow anyways!

 

[alvino]

Yeah, he has really bad technique. His breathing is all wrong, no extension of the arms, choppy kicking...etc.

The other two must've kicked themselves for doing that...

 

[iNcorrection]

I feel sad as hell for the two... Working that hard for nothing.

 

[alvino]

Oh now I remember him...his name is Eric Moussambani and I think he's from Equatorial Guinea. He got a Guinness World Record and national record for that swim even though he was that slow. I think even slower than all the 200m freestyle times too. The funniest part is that he started swimming roughly 8 months before the Olympic trials and he only had a 20m hotel pool to practice in.

Supposedly he's made a vast improvement though with his time at about 57 seconds for the 100m. Compare that to his 2000 Olympic trial time of 1:52.72.

I feel sad as hell for the two... Working that hard for nothing.

Yeah that must be tough, training for all that time and then making silly mistakes like that
