Now THAT’S what I call GUTS! “Eric The Eel” representing Equatorial Guinea on the world stage! Swimming with his best effort in the same pool as swimming greats from the first world! Bringing pride to his nation, showing the world that Equatorial Guinea can contend along with the very best! No matter how long it took him, he FINISHED that race! How he did his nation proud! GO EQUATORIAL GUINEA!

I first I found this funny… I laughed at first…

Then I almost cried when I read how happy, grateful, and satisfied he was with his best effort.

We should all be satisfied with our best effort, just like this guy.

We need more stories like this. It’s what the Olympic Spirit is really about.

Awesome. THAT’S what the Olympics are about. Good on Michael Phelps for winning the most gold medals ever, but everyone knew he would.
