Mumtaz Ahmed (Urdu: ممتاز احمد; born 7 January 1970) is a Pakistani former swimmer, who specialised in sprint freestyle events.[1] Ahmed qualified for the men's 100 m freestyle, as a 34-year-old, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He received a Universality place from FINA in an entry time of 57.48.[2] He challenged six other swimmers in heat one, including 15-year-old Leonel Matonse of Mozambique. He overhauled a one-minute barrier, and saved a sixth spot over Burundi's Emery Nziyunvira by more than 10 seconds in 59.19. Ahmed failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed sixty-eighth overall out of 71 swimmers in the preliminaries.[3][4]
Ahmed was the silver medallist in both the 400 m freestyle and 1500 m freestyle events at the 2004 South Asian Games in Islamabad.
