Ghazal El Jobeili (Arabic: غزل الجبيلي; born April 8, 1986 in Beirut) is a retired Lebanese swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] El Jobeili qualified for the women's 50 m freestyle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by receiving a Universality place from FINA, in an entry time of 31.42.[2] She challenged six other swimmers in heat two, including 14-year-olds Sameera Al-Bitar of Bahrain and Christal Clashing of Antigua and Barbuda. She tied for first place with Al-Bitar in their personal bests of exactly 30 seconds. El Jobeili failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed sixty-third overall out of 75 swimmers on the last day of preliminaries.[3][4]
