Eric the Eel returning to Olympics

By: Guy Heveldt | Latest Swimming News | Saturday March 31 2012 17:52

 

Eric "the Eel" Moussambani is returning to the Olympics.

12 years after the African swimmer gained worldwide notoriety for his famously slow performances, the 33-year-old has been named the Equatorial Guinea swimming coach for the London Games.

His one minute 52.72 seconds in the 100m freestyle at the Sydney Games was outside the 200m world record.
