Hassan Mubah
Hassan Mubah is a Maldivian former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events. He is a two-time Olympian, and holds numerous Maldivian records in the 50 and 100 m freestyle.
Mubah made his official debut, as a 16-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he competed in the men's 50 m freestyle. Swimming in heat one, he posted a lifetime best of 28.86 to earn a fifth spot and seventy-third overall by a 3.43-second margin behind winner Wael Ghassan of Qatar.
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Mubah swam for the second time in the 50 m freestyle. As part of an Olympic Solidarity program, he received a Universality place from FINA in an entry time of 27.51. He challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including 16-year-old Chris Hackel of Mauritius. He saved a seventh spot over Uganda's Edgar Luberenga by six hundredths of a second, outside his entry time of 27.71. Mubah failed to advance into the semifinals, as he managed to repeat the same position from his first Olympic stint in the preliminaries.
