Mohammed bin Naseeb Al-Habsi (Arabic: محمد بن نصيب الحبسي; born August 21, 1991) is an Omani swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] At age sixteen, Al-Habsi became one of the youngest swimmers to mark their official debut for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed in the men's 100 m breaststroke, an event which was later dominated by Japanese swimmer and defending Olympic champion Kosuke Kitajima. He finished second in the first heat by less than two seconds behind 16-year old Qatari swimmer Osama Mohammed Ye Alarag, with a time of 1:12.28. Al-Habsi, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as he placed sixty-second in the overall rankings.[2]
