Bader Abdulrahman Al-Muhana (Arabic: بدر عبد الرحمن المهنا; born November 15, 1988) is a Saudi Arabian swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events.[1] A lone swimmer at the 2008 Summer Olympics and a graduate of King Faisal School in his hometown Riyadh, Al-Muhana swam for the Indiana Hoosiers throughout most of his college career, while pursuing international business studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.
Al-Muhana was invited by FINA to compete for Saudi Arabia in the men's 100 m butterfly at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing[2] Swimming on the outside in heat two, Al-Muhana put up an effort from the start to tie for fifth with Egypt's Ahmed Nada in a matching 55.59. Al-Muhana failed to advance to the semi-finals, as he placed sixty-first overall with Nada in the prelims.[3]
