Ilidio Salvador Matusse (born August 12, 1975) is a Mozambican former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] Matusse competed for Mozambique in the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He received a ticket from FINA, under a Universality program, in an entry time of 25.51.[2][3] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including teenagers Khalid Al-Kulaibi of Oman (aged 14) and Sikhounxay Ounkhamphanyavong of Laos (aged 17). He faded down the stretch of the race to take a fourth spot in 26.28, 77-hundredths of a second below his entry standard. Matusse failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed sixty-fifth overall out of 80 swimmers in the prelims.[4][5][6]
