Bronze Medalist Mutaz Barshim Made Olympic History at Paris 2024!
Guess what? Mutaz Barshim won a bronze medal and Qatar Olympic history at Paris 2024
Qatari high jump legend Mutaz Barshim has added another chapter to his storied career by winning the bronze medal in the Men’s High Jump at the Olympic Games Paris 2024. Barshim successfully cleared a height of 2.34 meters, securing third place behind American Shelby McEwen and New Zealand’s Hamish Kerr, both of whom cleared 2.36 meters, with Kerr taking the gold.
This achievement is not just another medal for Barshim—it’s history in the making. He is now the first high jump athlete to ever win four medals across four Olympic Games. Barshim previously won gold at Tokyo 2020, and silver at both Rio de Janeiro 2016 and London 2012.
Mutaz Barshim’s success in Paris also marks Qatar’s first medal at the 2024 Olympics, further solidifying his status as the most decorated Qatari athlete in Olympic history. His dedication and consistent excellence are a source of immense pride for Qatar and its people.
The Qatari Royals have extended their heartfelt congratulations to Barshim, celebrating his outstanding achievement and the honor he continues to bring to the nation. Barshim’s journey is a testament to hard work, perseverance, and the unwavering support from Qatar.
