Eric the Eel

He was a very bad swimmer from a random African country, he used to practice in a 25 meter pool, he won his round as both the other competitors jumped into the water before the bell so were disqualified, he still almost drowned trying to get across.

He only did the one even, he qualified for the next round, he'd suddenly got sponsorship cause he was wearing a shark skin swimming suit for the second round
 
Great memories. Wonder how much his coach got paid. I was born in Kenya, wonder if I should apply for citizenship so I can compete in the Olympics in London 2012 - Im a dab hand at badminton, and obviously football.

Be hilarious, ill have to look into it.
 
Apparently you can apply for citizenship just for being born there..

Anyone have any idea/knowledge?
 
was wondering cos he was more than a minute off the WR for a 100m race.

poor lad, but at least he goes in the record books as having won.

you mean.. no chance for muller the makerel?

What else can i do? I might do the rings - hang on them for 1 minute and then get down. Or the horse, fall, do the splits, injure myself, and roll on the floor for 30 seconds.

It would be original.
 
Some random Chinaman turned up at the winter Olympics that followed and was terrible, bit of a poor copy really
 
Id be a white kenyan. Never happened before - as in, not in the Olympics.

Would I be a poor copy?
