The legendary black eel-Eric, the story of a soldier and the sea.

This story is related to the Olympic Games.

In April 2000, Equatorial Guinea released a message on the radio: "Olympic swimmers are being recruited nationwide ..."

Eric, 22, wanted to see if he was curious or moved, so he signed up.

During the interview, Eric drew twice in the water, and the person who chose to dial nodded, "That's you!" " "Looking at Eric Suen Yiu Wai a face of doubt," there is no one else. "

Eric officially became a 50-meter freestyle athlete in Equatorial Guinea at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

However, Eric can't swim, has no coach, and has no swimming pool for training.

I don't know how the young man accepted it and actively completed it.

Eric found a swimming pool on the roof of a hotel, 20 meters away. Eric had the cheek to ask, and finally agreed to come three times a week for an hour, from 5 to 6 before sunrise.

Eric must be a good problem solver and determined.

Swimming, forced to learn, the cleaner by the pool warned him that he must learn to float in the pool by himself, or the cleaner would fish him out.

Under the threat of the cleaner, the Olympic swimmer completed the first step and floated.

After dawn, he swam or fluttered in a yellow muddy river.

There will be onlookers on the shore, but not cheering and encouraging people, but people who come to watch the excitement. Unknown dangers lurk in the muddy river.

Finally, Eric practiced at the seaside. The sea is very powerful. Several waves sent Eric ashore, but several fishermen who ate the sea could not bear his indomitable struggle and taught him some unique skills.

Eric's training lasted from April to June, and the temperature of the sea continued to rise.

Finally, Eric set off with $50 and walked for three days, finally reaching the swimming pool of Sydney Olympic Games. Eric was training in the sea, but he saw the swimming pool and players from other countries swimming like fish. Eric closed his eyes and told himself not to lose too badly.

Eric, who is full of confidence, puts on his swimming trunks and is ready to go swimming. A South African coach stopped him and asked him what he wanted. Eric said he wanted to swim, but the South African coach shook his head and gave him a pair of swimming trunks and goggles, which can only help you go so far.

Eric goes to the beach in a pair of fancy underwear. He likes it very much. He chose it in a second-hand shop for a long time before he was willing to buy it. But dressing like this will disqualify him.

Eric prefers new goggles and swimming trunks, which makes him look like an athlete. When he was happy, he showed his little white teeth and tried to swim 50 meters, almost finished.

However, accidents are everywhere, and Eric has encountered many. Before entering the stadium, Eric learned that the project reported by Equatorial Guinea Sports Bureau was 100 meters. How can he think that Equatorial Guinea's attitude towards hosting the Olympic Games is beyond our knowledge, even if the school holds a sports meeting, it can't be so casual?

But Eric was already standing in front of the accident, so he had to bite the bullet and stick to it.

When the athlete came out, the firm Eric felt embarrassed for the first time. Next to him, two athletes are wearing one-piece swimsuits, and Eric is wearing swimming trunks that are not the right size. /kloc-the swimming pool of 0/7000 people is buzzing.

Eric, who hasn't walked out of the first embarrassment, has encountered the second embarrassment. As soon as the shot rang, Eric didn't jump, and it was over. Two athletes in his qualifying group started early and were disqualified.

The men's 100 meter freestyle qualifier of Sydney Olympic Games in 2000 and the swimming pool with17,000 spectators all focused on Eric, who was the first person in Equatorial Guinea's history to swim in April. Under the threat of cleaners and the guidance of fishermen, this young man who worked hard for the 50m freestyle will finish the100m freestyle for the first time.

This is an impossible task, Eric must finish it!

When the gun entered the water, Eric finally pulled 50 meters in an unsightly posture. At the end of the 50m, he opened the wall and started another 50m, which he will never forget. At this time, he was exhausted and still swimming. At this point, he has difficulty breathing and cannot breathe. He threw it in the swimming. His legs were weak, but he was still swimming!

The distance is getting closer, and he is getting slower and slower. Suddenly, the audience heard the sound like waves, G0, G0, G0, wave after wave, wave after wave!

Eric, a brave man, swam to the finish line from the time he signed up. Finally, he once again defeated the waves that hit him and swam to the finish line, and the whole audience cheered!

Eric wrote the Olympic spirit with his perseverance, not triumph, but struggle, not victory, but participation.

In the end, Eric won the first place in the group with a group score of 1:52.72, which is also the best result in Equatorial Guinea's history and the slowest result in the Olympic Games 100 meter freestyle. Eric became famous in World War I and became a legendary black eel in people's eyes.

CCTv5 specially broadcasts Lonely for Failure.

Eric is a kindling. The number of swimmers in Equatorial Guinea has increased year by year, and a swimming pool has mushroomed. Eric only participated in that Olympic Games, and now he only works as a swimming coach after work.

But the fight at that moment became the legendary black eel in memory forever!
