Mohamed Lahna (born 11 March 1982)[1] is a Moroccan-American[2] paratriathlete. Lahna won bronze in the men's PT2 paratriathlon at the 2016 Paralympics.[3]
Mohamed Lahna was born without a right femur; due to this, he was not able to compete in his first triathlon until 2008. He started as a strong swimmer and was able to swim across the Strait of Gibraltar.[4] He went on to represent Morocco until 2016.
As of 2017, Lahna has been competing under World Triathlon after requesting a change of representation from Morocco to the United States.[citation needed]
Mohamed has won four gold medals to date as well as 13 podium finishes and is currently ranked fourth in the world.[5]
Career
Lahna won bronze in the PT2 category at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio, the first Paralympics to include triathlon events.[3] Lahna won in 1 hour 13 minutes and 35 seconds, with a margin of 46-second from the winner, the British Andy Lewis.[6]
