Mohammed Rubel Rana (born 2 April 1983) is a Bangladeshi swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.[1][2] He was one of the five athletes to represent Bangladesh at the 2008 Summer Olympics, rounding out the field of 45 swimmers in the men's 100 m backstroke.
Rana competed for Bangladesh in the men's 100 m backstroke at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[3][4] Swimming on the outside in heat one, Rana closed out the field to last place with a lifetime best in 1:04.82, more than eight seconds away from the heat's fastest swimmer and 2004 Olympian Danil Bugakov of Uzbekistan. Rana failed to advance to the semifinals, as he rounded out the roster of 45 swimmers in the prelims.[5] Rana was also the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.[3]
