About Eric Moussambani
- Eric Moussambani Malonga (born May 31, 1978) is a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea.
- Nicknamed "Eric the Eel" by the media, Moussambani won brief international fame at the 2000 Summer Olympics for an extremely unlikely victory.
- Moussambani, who had never seen an Olympic-sized swimming pool before, swam his heat of the 100 m freestyle on September 19 in the unprecedentedly slow time of 1:52.72.
- This was the slowest time in Olympic history by far and Moussambani apparently had trouble finishing the race, but he won his heat after both his competitors were disqualified due to false starts.
- While Moussambani's time was still too slow to advance to the next round, he set a new personal best and an Equatoguinean national record.
- He later became the coach of the national swimming squad of Equatorial Guinea.
