Mehdi Hamama (ar|مهدي حمامة; born May 7, 1985) is an Algerian swimmer, who specialized in individual medley events.[1] He represented his nation Algeria at the 2008 Summer Olympics, placing himself among the top 50 swimmers in the men's 200 m individual medley.
Hamama competed for Algeria in the men's 200 m individual medley at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Two months before the Games, he eclipsed a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:05.54 at the Mare Nostrum Barcelona Meet in Spain.[2] Rallying from fifth on the breaststroke leg in heat one, Hamama put up a tremendous effort to improve his lifetime best and smash a sub-2:05 barrier for the fourth spot in 2:04.91. Hamama failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-first overall in the prelims.[3]
