Today we take a look at three of the greatest 1.LOSERS in the history of the Olympic Games. The first one was a certain Shinzo Kanaguri from 2.JAPAN. He ran in the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. The marathon. It was an extremely 3.HOT day and, like all the other competitors, Shinzo was finding it extremely 4.HARD. As he was running along under the blazing sun, he saw a family sitting at the side of the 5.ROAD having a picnic. They invited him to join them for their meal. After 6.EATING, he realised that there was little point in continuing with the 7.RACE.

Number two is Eric Moussambani, also known as Eric the Eel. At the Sydney Olympics, Eric set a new Olympic record in the 100 metres freestyle. He 8.WON his race in the record slow time of 1 minute 52.72 seconds. There were two other 9.SWIMMERS in the race, but both of them were disqualified for false starts. Although he won the race, Eric´s time was too slow to qualify for the final. His time was just a little 10.SLOWER than the Olympic champion, Pieter von den Hooggenband, but van den Hoogenband swam 200 meters, compared to Eric´s 100. Eris was just 11.HAPPY to finish his race – it was his first time in a 50 metre 12.POOL and he had only taken up swimming a few 13.MONTHS before.

My number three is Britain´s very own sporting superstar, Eddie Edwards – Eddie the Eagle. Eddie´s chosen sport was a 14.STRANGE choice for a man who lives hundreds of miles form the nearest mountain. But at the 15.WINTER Olympics in Calgary, Eddie was the only member of the British ski-jumping 16.TEAM, and he was entered for both the 70 and the 90 metre jumps. While he was preparing for the Olympics, he broke his 17.JAW, his collarbone and a number of teeth. But at Calgary, Eddie was ready – and came last in the 70 metre 18.EVENT. The Olympic officials did not want him to take part in the longer jump. “The Eagle doesn´t jump – he drops like a 19.STONE”, said one Olumpic official. But Eddie insisted and, once more, took last place – forty-seven metres behind the 20.WINNER. At least he had a good excuse. Eddie the Eagle was very short-sighted and wore thick 21.GLASSES. In he cold mountain air, Eddie´s glasses misted up and he couldn´t 22.SEE a thing.
