    Eric Moussambani didn't stop swimming after Sydney and improved his own national record by almost a minute. In the end his personal best is better than that of two times olympic 100m freestyle champion and Tarzan actor Johnny Weissmuller.

    The poodle clipping event is not real. Its from an April fools article published before the 2008 Olympics. The name of the women who won in the article is “Avril Lafoule” Avril is French for April. Literally April Lafoules lol. Great prank, not true sadly.

    According to the internet, the first modern Olympics were held in Athens 1896. Do I believe QI or Google/Government? I didn't say trust, I said believe 😂

    If the very first Olympic event was just one race they cannot possibly have referred to it as the Olympic Games! That would require more than one and, I would argue,several events. I would not I’d o much if Stephen Fry were not so contemptuous when guests start to apply the same kind of, usually more valid, pedantry to justifying their answers

    Aside from the "sniglets" bit he started doing in the 1980s, what has Rich Hall done to make him famous/relevant enough to get on this show? I realize you don't have to be an Oscar winner to get on QI, but you should be known for doing something people have heard of 😁. I honestly can not remember seeing him in anything, but according to IMDB, he made a bunch of videos with titles like Rich Hall's California, Rich Hall's President, etc. None of which I've watched or even heard of.
