medal after Shomin missed his sixth target. It was Qatar's third ever Olympic medal and its first since Said Saif Asaad's bronze in men's weightlifting at the 2000 Sydney Games. Rashid Al-Athba was 31 years old at the time of the London Games, and had previously represented Qatar at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Al-Athba earned an Olympic quota spot by winning the bronze medal in trap at the 2012 Asian Shooting Championships. He entered seven competitions and went to several training camps to prepare for the Games. On 2 August Al-Athba competed in the qualification round of the men's double trap. With a score of 136 points, he finished seventh out of 23 shooters who completed the round. Al-Athba scored one point less than the two lowest qualifiers for the final, Håkan Dahlby of Sweden and Richárd Bognár of Hungary, and did not advance. Three days later, he entered the qualification round of the men's trap. Al-Athba came tenth out of 34 shooters with a score of 121 points. He scored one point less than Croatia's Giovanni Cernogoraz and Anton Glasnović who were the lowest qualifying shooters for the final and he was eliminated from the event. Men Women Swimming Ahmed Atari was 18 years old at the time of the London Olympics and making his Olympic debut. He qualified for the men's 400 metre individual medley by using a universality place that was issued to swimmers who did not qualify on merit from swimming's governing body FINA because his personal best time of five minutes and 16.80 seconds, set at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships, was 48.36 seconds slower than the "B" (FINA/Invitation) qualifying standard for his event. Atari was assigned to compete against four other swimmers in heat one on 28 July. He could not remain underwater for more than half of the first fifteen metres and was distanced by the nearest swimmer a third of the way through. Atari continued to struggle for the rest of the heat but he was applauded by the crowd. His time of 5 minutes and 21.30 seconds put him 36th and last overall; he was not allowed to progress to the final since only the top eight could advance to that stage. Afterwards Atari was dubbed "Atari the Qatari" and the media compared his slow speed and times to that of Equatorial Guinea's Eric Moussambani's at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Nada
