Osama Mohammed El-Aarag (Arabic: أسامة محمد العراج‎; born November 15, 1991) is a Qatari swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1][2] At age sixteen, Alarag became one of the youngest swimmers to mark their official debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, competing in the men's 100 m breaststroke. He topped the first heat against Oman's Mohammed Al-Habsi and Cook Islands' Petero Okotai in a lifetime best of 1:10.83. Alarag, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as he placed sixty-first out of sixty-five swimmers in the overall rankings.[3]
