Nasser Al-Attiyah

Qatari rally driver and sport shooter (born 1970)

Nasser Al-Attiyah belongs to the record of shooting sports as a competitor whose results still define part of the sport.

The record lists Nasser Al-Attiyah as Qatari rally driver and sport shooter (born 1970).

Nasser Al-Attiyah was born at Doha in 1970. His recorded nationality is Qatar.

By this period sport was fully international, televised and politicised, and an athlete's reach extended far past the field of play.

He represented Toyota Gazoo Racing and The Dacia Sandriders.

He competed at 2008 Summer Olympics, 2004 Summer Olympics and 2000 Summer Olympics.

In sport the margin between the remembered and the forgotten is often a fraction of a second.

That the career was built from Qatar matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.

What survives is the record itself - times, placings and titles that later competitors still measure themselves against.
