ReplyI completely forgot about Eric the Eel! I do remember crying & yelling at the tv to urge him on. What an excellent moment in Olympic history. Gotta share this with my old swim team. #Nufinmen
ReplyI understood what he was saying with his accent come on now. I guess white people don’t understand. Subtitles for them I suppose.
ReplyI probably would have never heard of that story if not for The Daily Show
ReplyJust thinking about it made me cry. That dude had some guts…
ReplyNgl literally thought when I hear the name Eric the eel I thought he swam as fast as an eel but boy was I wrong
Reply“musambani” pronounced similar to Moussambani, in Zambia and Malawi means swimmer or bath(er). Samba means swim/bath
ReplyEddie the Eagle and Eric the Eel… I wonder what animal moniker will be next
Reply“it’s not the winning that matters, it’s the not drowning that matters” yep that’s fair enough. words to live by
ReplyI understand your accent only because my professor in college had the same accent.
Reply“He set a new personal best and an Equatoguinean national record. He later became the coach of the national swimming squad of Equatorial Guinea.”
ReplyI call that winning
I remember watching this on the news recap at the time. So sad many people only came to know about this epic moment just now but it’s better than nothing.
