Eric Moussanbani entered the Sydney 2000 Olympics as a wildcard. Despite being unable to swim 8-months beforehand, he trained himself to swim 50m in a 20m pool. To his horror, the Olympic pool was 50m and he was entered in the 100m freestyle race! Cheered on by 17,000 spectators he completed the heat in a record slowest time. It's the taking part that counts!
