Ahmed Atari (born 2 May 1994)[1] is a Qatari swimmer.
At the 2011 World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, Atari placed 34th in the 50 m backstroke heats with a time of 32.37 seconds and in the 400 m individual medley heats with a time of 5:16.80. The qualifying times were 25.98 and 4:24.77, respectively.[2] At the short course 2010 FINA World Swimming Championships in Dubai, he placed 92nd in the 50 m freestyle heats with a time of 25.45 seconds.[3][4]
Atari made his Olympic debut in 2012. Although he did not meet the Olympic qualifying time (4:16.46) or invitation time (4:25.44),[5] he was permitted a wild card entry. The wild cards are designed to admit swimmers from developing nations that do not have swimmers who are able to meet the qualifying standards for a particular event.[6] He finished last in the 400 m individual medley heats with a time of 5:21:30.[1]
