Results by event [edit]

Athletics [edit]

Only two Qatari athletes made a final in their events, both in the 3000 metre steeplechase. Neither runner was born in Qatar, with Saifeldin from Sudan and Amer from Kenya originally. Despite a personal best in the final, Amer could not get past his three countrymen competing for Kenya. A major setback for the Qatari team came when Kenya refused to waive the 3-year Olympic waiting period for Saif Saeed Shaheen (originally Stephen Cherono), the 2003 World Champion in the steeplechase.

Shooting [edit]

In an extremely close men's Skeet event, Nasser Al-Attiyah survived a five-man shoot-off in the qualification round to make the final. In the final, he shot perfectly, but so did two of the men tied with him, setting up another shoot-off for a bronze medal, which Al-Attiya lost by just a single point.

Both Qatari weightlifters were born in Bulgaria, but changed nationality to Qatari. Asaad won a bronze medal at the 2000 Olympics, and had he completed any of his three Clean & Jerk attempts in Athens, would have won a second medal.
