Egypt-born weightlifter Fares Ibrahim will also be back to defend the middle-heavyweight title
DOHA – Mutaz Barshim was at the centre of one of most memorable moments of the Tokyo Olympics and the high jump er will again carry a large part of Qatar 's hopes of medal success on his slender shoulders in his fourth Summer Games in Paris.
Three-times a world champion and an Olympic silver medallist in London and Rio, Barshim said recently that he does not display his impressive collection of trophies for fear that complacency might blunt his competitive spirit. "I want to be mentioned as one of the high jump greats. I want my name to be mentioned whenever high jump is mentioned. I want to make it hard and difficult for the person who's coming behind me to break my records."
Barshim has shown no signs of resting on his laurels even a decade on from his jump of 2.43m that remains the second highest leap in history. "For me, I look at the sport like there's not one single goal that I'm looking for. I want to be a world champion, and then it's done. No, I've achieved that. It's good. What can I do more? I want to win it twice, three times. I want to do more."
