From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alaa Hikmat Jassim Al-Qaysi, born September 14, 1985,[1] is an Iraqi sprinter.
Alaa represented Iraq in the 100 metre sprint at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She finished last of eight in her heat, with a time of 12.70 seconds.[2] She told reporters:
- "I feel I am representing all of the Iraqi people, not just the women. I started training for these Olympics in March, but because of the situation there, I couldn't train as well as I wanted to. If it was possible, I would have trained five to six times a week, but because of the bombs and explosions I often could not."[3][4]
