Eduardo Germán Otero (born February 4, 1980) is an Argentine former swimmer, who specialized in backstroke and butterfly events.[2] He is a three-time Olympian, a multiple-time national record holder, and a two-time champion for the 50 m backstroke at the South American Games.[3][4] He is also a member of Club Nadadores del Rio Plata, and is coached and trained by Marcelo "Yuri" Quaglia.[1][5]
On his second Olympic appearance in Athens 2004, Otero decided to drop his specialty event, the 200 m backstroke, and experiment with the 100 m butterfly. He also qualified for the 100 m backstroke by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 56.36 from the South American Championships in Maldonado, Uruguay.[9][10] Otero repeated his luck from Sydney, as he rounded out to last place in heat three and thirty-third overall with a time of 57.28.[11][12] In the 100 m butterfly, Otero placed forty-fourth on the morning's preliminaries. Swimming in the same heat, he posted a lifetime best of 55.24 to earn a fourth spot by nearly half a second (0.50) behind winner Jeong Doo-Hee of South Korea.[13][14]
Eight years after competing in his first Olympics, Otero qualified for his third Argentine team as a 28-year-old at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He achieved an Olympic B-cut of 56.38 seconds from the national trials in Buenos Aires.[5] He challenged seven other swimmers on the third heat, including fellow three-time Olympian and former finalist Örn Arnarson of Iceland. Otero raced to seventh place by 0.19 of a second behind Ukraine's Oleksandr Isakov in 56.74. Otero failed to advance into the semifinals, as he matched his position from Sydney in the preliminaries.[15]
