Dubai's first Olympic Gold Medal
Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al-Maktoum won an Olympic gold medal in the men’s double trap shooting final in the 2004 Games at Athens.
Shaikh Ahmed bin Hasher Al-Maktoum is not only the first Emirati to win an Olympic gold medal and the first sportsman from an Arab country to do so at the 2004 Games, but he also tied a world record.
This is not much more than a guess on my part, but I do not think Shaikh Ahmed is a descendant of His Highness Shaikh Rashid bin Saeed bin Maktoum Al-Maktoum (grandfather of the current ruler of Dubai, His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid bin Saeed Al-Maktoum).
Can anyone tell me what is the family relation between His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid bin Saeed Al-Maktoum (ruler of Dubai) and Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al-Maktoum (who won the gold medal for the United Arab Emirates)?
Thak you,
Atsuo
