Fahad Al-Deehani (Шаблон:Lang-ar, 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 thus he became the first Kuwaiti to ever win an Olympic bronze medal.[4] He 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,[5] 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 and Kuwaiti to win a gold medal.[6] He said the medal is the best answer to those who kept the Kuwait flag away from the award ceremonies[7] He added that everyone was calling him “Fehaid the Kuwaiti”. This medal, he added, would carry the name of Kuwait. “I was not representing the Olympic Committee; rather I represented Kuwait.”[8]

Al-Deehani had retired in the year 2018 after an illustrious career.[9] On 28 August, 2023, he announced in a instagram post that he is returning back to international competitions as per an appeal from the Prime Minister of Kuwait, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Nawaf Al-Sabah and in response to homeland's call for return.[10]

Other competitions

In 2014, Al-Deehani won silver in the Asian Games double trap competition.[11]
