Today I learned about Eric Moussambani, the worst swimmer in the Olympics but the best in his country.

At the 2000 Olympics, he finished from a 100m run in the slowest time in the history of the Olympics - but still won the race because all other competitors were disqualified. In addition, his time was the national record of Equatorial Guinea.

All this, even though he had never seen an Olympic swimming pool before he reached the Olympics.
