Tahani Alqahtani (Arabic: تهاني القحطاني; born 3 August 1999)[1] is a Saudi Arabian international level judoka.
She qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[2] She participated at the 2021 World Judo Championships.[3][4] She was eliminated from 2020 Olympics after losing to Israeli counterpart Raz Hershko, but the match gained notability for Tahani agreeing to play against an Israeli athlete, which was never done before in the history of Saudi Arabia's Olympics participation despite boycott pressure.[5]
