ERIC MOUSSAMBANI NATATION JO SYDNEY 2000

SALUONS LE COURAGE ET LA DETERMINATION DE CE NAGEUR.

[@Justebluue]

Pour ceux qui ne savent pas voici l’histoire de ce jeune homme : En gros les JO de 2000 ont ouvert la compétition à des pays sous développés pour qu’ils puissent faire eux aussi une compétition, et donc la on avait 3 nageurs de 3 pays en sous développement : Tadjikistan 🇹🇯 , Nigeria 🇳🇬 et Guinée Équatoriale 🇬🇶 Éric Moussambani avait été accepté pour les JO sans avoir rempli les pré requis pour cette raison, et il avait commencé à nager 8 mois avant la compétition, en s’entraînant d’abord dans un lac, puis dans une piscine de 12m de long dans un hôtel où il avait accès à la piscine entre 5h et 6h du mat uniquement. Il n’avait donc jamais vu une piscine de 50m Il a annoncé lui même que les 15 derniers mètres étaient très difficiles, et il a le record du monde du plus long 100m aux JO avec 1m52 👑 Il a fini Coach National de l’équipe de natation de la Guinée en 2012 💪

[@huguetteirakoze9360]

WoW Merci

[@AntibioTak]

Oui et qlq années plus tard Eric Moussambani nagera le 100m en moins de 60 secondes qui est une excellente performance.

[@dixneufclement]

Le commentateur est indigne de faire ce métier..bravo Mr moussanbani..votre histoire a du inspirer beaucoup de monde..

[@Bergani06]

Mais mdr 😂😂 les commentaires rendent justement la performance mythique et inoubliable pour tous... faut arrêter de s'offusquer pour un rien cher ami... toujours des coincé du c*l comme vous pour s'indigner de tout et n'importe quoi... rigolons de tout, de TOUT !!!! Cette vidéo me met MDR à chaque fois et je n'oublierai jamais ce moment avec ce nageur héroïque Grâce justement à ces commentaires 😂🎉

[@perig79]

Pour nager comme çà après 3 mois d'apprentissage, je dis chapeau Eric.

[@yazaky]

incroyable la volonté de ce nageur vrmt bravo et je men fou des animateur qui se manque

[@pjc2]

He is better than millions of people. He did participate in Olympic games.

[@joyeux85]

c"etait un grand moment des jo. bravo pour le courage de ce nageur

[@gege0038]

[@Bergani06]

Faut arrêter de s'offusquer pour un rien... les commentaires nerveux de rire rendent cette vidéo et cette personne mythique dans l'histoire des JO... faut arrêter la bien pensence ou on trouve honteux de moindre humour... je rigole à chaque fois que je vois cette vidéo j'en reparle souvent... la performance de cette homme les commentaires drôle... tout l'ensemble est mythique 🎉

[@michel2093]

Ça n'est pas irrespectueux. C'est un très mauvais nageur, ce n'est pas grave. On est aux JO, c'est étrange de voir un mec qui nage comme toi ou moi face à des athlètes de haut niveau. J'ai adoré ce moment. Les commentateurs sont bon. Vive les jeux olympiques qui ont permis à ce jeune homme de participer et même de gagner.

[@linneagrotv7895]

je salue le mec pour sa participation et son courage et le reste il faut beaucoup du serieux

[@claudineicorreia5300]

O cara nem era nadador, nunca havia disputado nenhuma competição na vida dele, usou uma piscina pela primeira vez quando a federação do país dele anunciou no radio que precisava de um nadador, aí ele fez um teste numa piscina de 12 metros de um hotel pela primeira vez na vida. Depois já foi pra olimpíada. É essa a história dele, e não era pra esperar um resultado melhor, ele fez o que ele pode sem ser um atleta.

[@andredestruction0623]

Com todo o respeito ao grande Moussanbani que teve um enorme espírito esportivo . Mas não deixa de ser engraçado. Só pra se ter uma idéia. O tempo que ele levou pra nadar os 100 metros (1 Minuto e 52 Segundos) daria pro César cielo, recordista mundial da prova com 46 Segundos e 91 Centésimos quebrar o recorde mundial que pertencia a um holandês que era de 47 Segundos e 84 Centésimos por 2 vezes.

[@kalouss1]

Il est dans wikipédia maintenant ;) et perso je me souviens plus de lui que du vainqueur de la discipline et j'en suis bien content :)

[@31Llb31]

C'est sur que on voit pas beaucoup de nageurs de couleur noire.... Faut dire que dans leurs pays, ils on autre chose à foutre de l'eau que la mettre dans une piscine Bravo Eric, ya pas beaucoup de gens qui auraient eu ton courage

[@brunolimamaia]

Want to see French stop laughing? Talk to him ... 2 germany (germany) x 0 (france) in the two world wars (1914 and 1939) .... if it were not for the United States the French speaker would be laughing and talking in German .... eric a hug from Brazil .. .

[@PunkSinAutor]

bruno lima maia if it were not for the United States? Maybe you should say CCCP. USA developed a secondary role during the WWII in Europe. Cualquier historiador te podrá confirmar que la mayor y crucial contribución a la derrota del nazismo fue por parte de la URSS. Epic video :)

[@Chloe27]

j'adore cette vidéo c'est vraiment l'esprit olympique ! n'empêche qui se rappelle le chapion olympique sur cette distance en 2000 ? et qui se souvient de cet africain qui fait péter le record lol ? moi je dis respect et bravo à cet homme d'avoir été jusqu'au bout !

[@MD-qw2qv]

'' La victoire n'est pas aux plus agiles ''

[@confituredegroseille]

Oye si no saben hablar frances pues callese!! " No pero es un imagen muy fuerte, francamente, reimos pero este si es el espiritu olimpico...es formidable, formidable"

[@shpohtl]

bravo eric!!!

[@rajeshchristopher]

as a Christian, i Believe that God will give us rewards which we dont deserve & though our enemy is much stronger that us, God will give us Victory!! this video is reminding me of all those TRUTH's. Thanks for uploading.. Congrats Eric Moussambani !!

[@siriustoni]

se foutre de sa gueule, c'est pas tres cato en faite, c'est une superbe scene qui restera, une image tres forte! gloire a toi ERIC MOUSSAMBANI!!!!!

[@_chpgne7995]

Le virage est mythique 😂😂😂

[@lolmosh]

Well he won my heart

[@deboramco]

narração desrespeitosa!

[@doslocaslocas]

Quien aun, en estas alturas, cree que no existen HEROES, pues si Eric Moussambani un gran , gran HEROE

[@turbokungfu]

That dude is the coolest dude ever. It is not the critic who counts.

[@YoungCriz]

Moi jdis BIG respect pour le nageur franchement. Il a le courage de faire ca et en plus il a gagné xD C'est vrai que c'est quand meme marrant meme si si sa aurait été moi jlaurai mal pris...

[@gege0038]

très courageu éxeptionnelle bravo Monsieur!Vous avez fai réfléchire des million de personnes et bien n'ont pas retirer les bonnes choses mai bien d'otre oui!encor Bravo Monsieur ERIC MOUSAMBADI!

[@elchuddy]

So, he managed not to false start, swam for his country and kept going to the end when he knew he wouldn't qualify. He swam in the Olympic Games, probably more than those French tv presenters who were trying to humiliate him. Well done Eric, I watched that race.

[@replyjessica]

Shouldn't laugh at him at all! He has the courage and determination to keep it up! All the way Eric! He's way cooler than any others!

[@restif1975]

Moussambani was denied entry into the 2004 Olympic Games due to a visa bungle, despite the vast improvement in his swimming over the previous four years, with his personal best down to under 57 seconds (Wikipedia)

[@scracchos]

Moi je dis Respect. Pck que des gens ordinaires n'aurait pas fait mieux! :P Meme si les commentateurs sont énormes MDr

[@Mathew86y]

You've just got to love this guy =)

[@republiktorrejon]

Dudo que los comentaristas o yo nademos mas rapido que el. Asi que nada que decir... GRANDE MOUSSAMBANI Je ne crois pas que les comentateur ou moi meme nagions plus vite qu'Eric. Alors, il faut dire: MERCI MOUSSAMBANI

[@platonn1981]

Cuando este muchacho llegó a las olimpíadas, nunca había nadado en una pileta olímpica. Pobre no llegaba mas!!

[@aclay81]

Anyone mocking the commentators mustn't speak french. They are laughing, of course, because what is happening is so unexpected--they just can't help it. But they more or less apologize for losing control and praise him for his olympic spirit. Nothing wrong with that.

[@artemyssa]

journalists make án ambarrasing work laughing and laughing. who the hell do they think they are?

[@cinqmars]

EB : We're laughing but it's really the Olympic spirit of the beginning of the century. It's terrific. Really, it's terrific. 1:52:72, Eric Moussambani is receiving standing ovation.

[@erfanfc]

Just one thing, you have to know... the commentator has won a bronz medal to JO Barcelona in 100 Freestyle....

[@ImjcI]

Fantastic! If only the commentators had the courage to do what Eric had done. Maybe they wouldn't be commentators. Any prick can commentate but it takes balls to stand up and have ago. If the commentators were atheletes when they were younger then maybe they should forget about filling their wallets and help the less advantaged become better people (and swimmers) Bravo Eric. Keep up the faith.

[@cellogeekdom]

a lot of other jornalists laugh at that too and there were not french and one of them was a big champion and they tell at the end that : "we are laughing, but the olympic spirit was the same as this race 10 years ago" so if you don't understand french don't insult them.

[@cellogeekdom]

he wasn't the one to laugh of him, millions of peoples laughed at him

[@Sawadeeecop]

hes a g for showin up under the conditions

[@CrocXtasy]

Respect Eric ! Quant a ces 2 commentateurs Francais honte a vous Chame on you!!!!

[@muzikamuz]

Le supplément de "l'Equipe Magazine " Lui a consacré un article cette semaine et son histoire est assez belle...A lire absolument !

[@docoldu60]

cette vidéos elle est trop forte et sava les fausses persones ki veulent faire stye et des bonne personnes en insultant les comentataires ils sn cmme nous il ont it komm a mon avis tout le monde l'a fait!!!

[@marct33]

you got to give it to him he started swimming 2 months before in his 20m hotel pool and by 2004 he brought his time down to 57 seconds plus thats why we kicked the french teams but in that relay

[@cinqmars]

I don't know about your country but in France we have black swimmers : - Christople Lebon (200m butterfly ; one of the fastest frech swimmer). - Malia Metella (Silver gold medalist). - Julien Sicot (twice a bronze medalist, world champion in 2003 and 2007). ;))

[@BayronMalfoy]

ce mec est le dieux des nageurs

[@sdaniro]

All the respect for Eric for finishing the probe and reminding us the ideals for which Coubertin revived the Olympics. I cannot say the same about the french announcer who stoped laughing only when he saw the crowd cheering. Pathetic.

[@wizzer171717]

le fait d'avoir le courage d'aller dans le tournoi ! et avoir rien a foutre des autres ! il vas que pour nager je trouve pas courageux donc respect ! serieux

[@13rdp]

Well done Eric, respect for this!!

[@CaptFat]

can't help but feel bad for the guy, but props to him.

[@saigonnais]

Eric is the fastest swimmer of Africa.

[@bertreipas]

His laughter expressed so much more than thousand words. You can say what you are supposed to say, without meaning it a bit.

[@akiertaharangszol]

He wasn't on drugs! He is a real champion!

[@MarioLizondo]

Ese es el autentico espiritu olimpico, si señor, chapo!!!! VIVA MOUSSAMBANI!!!!

[@joao041981]

ainda bem que não eram os 1500m livres. É coragem demais um não-nadador ir pra uma olimpíada.

[@pemdp]

Moussambani gained entry to the Olympics without meeting the minimum qualification requirements via a wildcard draw designed to encourage developing countries without expensive training facilities to participate. Before coming to the Olympics, Moussambani had never seen a 50m pool. He took up swimming only 8 months before the Olympics and had practiced in a mere 20m pool.

[@wilhem]

As a reminder, the dude laughting is Stéphane Caron, a professionnal swimmer. He got two bronze medals at the olympics and a silver one at the world championships.

[@aznchcknrice]

that's what a true champion looks like

[@Stevencore]

Broadcasters should be impaled at midnight. Respect for Eric

[@chujciwdupedwarazy]

hehe:D Didn't get it at first, I'm too young;) True and funny about 30 years ago in Poland. The thing about the Eiffel Tower was true 69 years ago but funny to this day.

[@grenzman]

They said he never touched a pool before because, well, he hadn't. He had trained in a 50 meter pool for six months leading up to the Olympics. He was ridiculously inexperienced. It's kind of sad, kind of awesome.

[@RomanSedlak]

the best.

[@timnosuke]

I'd heard about this and have just found this video. I was expecting a lot worse: I think his first 50m (in 40 seconds)is pretty fast considering his head is above water all the time. Of course it's not world record standard, but I doubt many people who haven't swam much can swim 50m in that time! I swim occasionally just to keep fit and my breathing technique is probably better than his, but I can only do 50m in 52 secs, so I have great respect for Mr. Moussambani.

[@UnlimitedBladeWork]

That's funny as hell to read all those people say : "yeah those commentators wouldn't do better !" When you know that Stephane Caron (one of the commentators) won 2 bronze medal at the Olympics game, a silver medal in a World Championship and a gold and a bronze medal in an European Championship x) So yeah, keep on flamming them but this is the truth : he didn't know how to swim and was a shame for a competition who was supposed to be the World greatest One. PS: They didn't make any racist coms

[@MrOdsplut]

has anyone else noticed how insanely hench he is?

[@cambsboyjames]

absoloute legend i dont no what there laughing at at least he tried. French Barstards

[@ecthelion2005]

He was a very fast swimer, he finished first after all.

[@Arkanis19]

He is my hero. respect!

[@lemickaelle]

ce bon vieux VDH... comme d'habitude a l'époque...

[@ribayah]

The 2 first swimmers have been disqualified because of anticipated start...God damned lucky man!

[@FlemmeArt]

We are all different.

[@OMGFINITO]

Et dire que le mec est devenu millionnaire en deux minutes putain l'a tout compris. Je m'inscris au prochain JO je suis mauvais mais pas à ce point bon je vais me perfectionner ma technique de médiocrité moi aussi. Ca paye bien. J'ai 3 ans pour la beaufiner. C'est pas les commentateurs que je trouve débiles bien au contraire m'ont bien fait rire et encore aujourd'hui ce sont les acheteurs de son bouquin.

[@symba-uo3os]

funny thing is that he is the best of his nation.

[@omarieswifey]

lol thisn is soo funny...i laughed my head of when i first watched this

[@mniedb]

WTF !! R E S P E C T :) Focus rox :)

[@odileromano249]

Il nage comme tarzan johnny weissmuller

[@lukecassio]

is the best

[@fzhkilp]

mdr attention au rivage trop marrant! Attention il va couler!! BRAVO ERIC MOUSSAMBANI!

[@RuanGuimar]

Deixem o áudio no mudo, é bem melhor ! Esse cara merece todo o respeito do mundo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cmwen]

Je me souviens de ce moment. Tout le monde l'encourageait. C'est vrai que j'ai bien rigoler :-D Je n'aurais pas fait mieu cependant! et je n'aurais pas eut son courage non plus. Au moins il n'était pas doper comme certains... (A bon entendeur...) Et je préfère voir ça que des athletes dopés jusqu'a l'os, tellement dopés qu'ils meurent dans les trois ans qui suivent, et après on se demande pourquoi... Donc ça doit être aussi ça les jeux olympics. He had dream and he made it real :-)

[@hadapurpura]

At least the guy knows how to listen and follow the rules, which is more than one can say about the other two.

[@randrianabel]

Les commentateurs se moquent, mais au moins,on a un nageur non dopé !

[@doslocaslocas]

facil, una persona que con 9 meses tiene que aprender ha nadar , no habia visto munca una piscina, mira soy del mediterraneo de palma de mallorca he visto el mar desde que era pequeña y se lo que es nadar 200 , 100 y 50 metros , yo no hubiese tenido tanto valor para hacer esto y te lo dice una campeona de Baleares de natación

[@Commuplow]

" Attention il va couler "

[@asi0asi]

I remember an interview he gave later. He actually had learned to swim only half a year earlier and until this race never swam more than 50m at once.

[@cinqmars]

In fact, I found out that only the commentator called Stephane Caron (former olympic bronze medalist) is laughing his ass off. The other one is just laughing at one point because it's a contagious laugh. I made a translation (well, I tried to) :

[@soundiattasoundiatta3506]

big respect

[@tengkufriz]

this guy's a legend

[@NoMoneyInMyPocket]

eric for the win!

[@cinqmars]

So you see not all French people are jerks. But I don't blame you, I, myself, got very mad at them when I saw this video. But I calmed down when I realized only Stéphane Caron made these useless comments (listen to the voices carefully). Still, I think it's a pity so many French people don't find it disrespectful and hurtful. PS: sorry for this rough translation !

[@cinqmars]

Bien dit !

[@youngblackfrench16]

c'est un compliment en y reflechissan de plus pres, mais dans le contexte de cette video... eeeuuhh fo pa se foutre de la geule et fair semblant d'embelir les choses lorsqu'elle ne le sont pas... tu le voi tres bien qu'il rigolent tou haut tou fort d'un air pretensieux et sans gene et qu'ils se tapent un fou rire!! alor aretez de vous voiler la face!!

[@131daniel]

Crazy thing is four years after this date he went dropped his 100 time to 52 seconds

[@MOSDI621]

you don't understand so why you talk about that, the guy who comment is caron, world champion and european recordman, second in olympic games (so he knows what he speak about), and he says it's the olympic spirit, it's "formidable"

[@cafesoluble]

best olympic moment ever

[@tf2wowaren]

That man got some great armpower, so many times he moced his arms :P

[@slomo8888]

it is an honor to participate. And you can only reach this if you train hard. My little brother is faster and he's 8 years old and he trains twice a week...

[@mmppoomm]

RESPECT!!

[@SillyScyllia]

of course they were laughing that's what you do when you see something hilarious >.>

[@cinqmars]

Tu dois être bon en commentaire de texte toi. Lol. Et si je dis ça, j'me fous pas de ta gueule. Non non... C'est parce que je suis "impresionnée" par ton analyse pertinente de ces 1 minute et demi de rires incontrôlés qui étaient, comme tu le dis si bien, trèèès respectueux.
