Fahad Al-Deehani (Arabic: فهيد الديحاني, born October 11, 1966) is a Kuwaiti professional target shooter and officer in the Kuwaiti military.[1] He was born in Kuwait City.[2][3]
Olympic career[]
Al-Deehani won a bronze medal for the men's double trap shooting event at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and won another bronze for the men's Olympic trap shooting event at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
At the 2016 Summer Olympics, Al-Deehani competed as an "independent Olympic athlete" because Kuwait was banned from the Olympics by the IOC.[1] Al-Deehani called for the resignation of Kuwaiti officials responsible for the IOC ban,[4] but refused to carry the Olympic flag in the 2016 Olympic opening ceremonies.[1] Al-Deehani defeated Italian Marco Innocenti in the gold medal match of the men's double trap, becoming the first independent athlete to win a gold medal.[5]
Other competitions[]
In 2014, Al-Deehani won silver in the Asian Games double trap competition.[6]
