Ahmed Mohamed Jewel (also Jewel Ahmed, born August 14, 1983 in Dhaka) is a retired Bangladeshi swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] Ahmed qualified for the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, without having an entry time.[2] He challenged five other swimmers in heat one, including 16-year-old Emile Rony Bakale of Congo. He posted both a lifetime best and a Bangladeshi record of 25.47 to earn a second spot by four tenths of a second (0.40) behind winner Bakale. Ahmed failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed sixty-third overall out of 86 swimmers in the preliminaries.[3][4]
