Saleh Mohammad (Arabic: صالح محمد; born April 27, 1986) is a Syrian swimmer, who specialized in open water marathon.[1] He represented his Syria in the inaugural 10 km race at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has also won a career total of four medals (three golds and one silver) in a major international open water competition, spanning two editions of the Asian Beach Games (2008 and 2010).[2][3]
Mohammad competed as a lone open water swimmer for Syria in the inaugural men's 10 km marathon at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Leading up to the Games, he finished with a twenty-third place time of 1:54:45.5, but managed to pick up the continental spot as Asia's representative at the FINA World Open Water Swimming Championships in Seville, Spain.[4][5] Farther from the leaders by about ten body lengths, Mohammad nearly pulled from the end of the field to claim the nineteenth spot out of twenty-four entrants in 1:54:37.7, two minutes and forty-six seconds (2:46) behind eventual gold medalist Maarten van der Weijden of the Netherlands.[6]
