From Cathy Freeman's 400m gold win to Jane Saville's heartbreaking disqualification, the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games were packed with moments that moved us. Tonight we get to look back at them all on Channel 7. | Sunrise

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Eric “The Eel” Moussambani of Equatorial Guinea swam the 100m freestyle despite never having seen a full Olympic-sized pool before. After both of his competitors false-started and were disqualified, Eric swam alone—setting a national record with the slowest time in Olympic history. With just eight months of limited training, his determination and courage captured global attention, making him a symbol of Olympic spirit! (Via: @olympics) #history #reels #sports #olympi
