WHERE'S ERIC?

Every Olympics needs a Heroic Failure.

In Sydney 2000 it was Eric "the Eel" Moussambani. In Calgary 1988 it was Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards.

So where's Greece's contribution to this Hall of Infamy?

The closest we've come so far is Australia's Lay Down Sally -- but exhaustion isn't the same as ineptitude (so Paula Radcliffe doesn't count either.)

The Games close on Sunday. Time is running out to discover Athens's Athletic Also-ran.
