Even if he's the still the only man from Ecuatorial Guinea to swim, part of a goal of the progam was accomplished. He took to it, and improved vastly, time will tell whether it sparks interest for swimming in that nation.
I daresay 57s would be a tall order for a lot of masters swimmers, would it not? I think you are looking at it through the eyes of a typical American elitist swimmer, who has no time for the folks in heat 1, no time for the person trying something new, no time for the feel-good story. You're so wrapped up in times and standards and your own self-importance that you miss what it's all about. Get over yourself.
