In the world of swimming competitions, there are swimmers, and then there are (local) legends.
Wael Koubrousli, a native of Beirut, embodies the latter. At 36, this brilliant athlete has written his name in golden letters in the history of Lebanese swimming, and now he is about to make headlines at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Born on June 12, 1988, Koubrousli dove into the world of swimming at a very young age. His talent quickly blossomed, and he became the Lebanese champion in the 100-meter breaststroke. His journey toward excellence also led him to win the silver medal at the Arab Championship in Egypt, a major milestone in his career that paved the way for the biggest international competitions.
His Olympic dream began to take shape when he proudly represented Lebanon at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, and then in London in 2012. These moments were the pinnacle of his career, where he competed with the best swimmers in the world and left his mark in the Olympic waters.

But Koubrousli doesn't only excel in the pool; his determination and commitment make him an extraordinary role model.
Now, Koubrousli is preparing for a new chapter in his athletic career, one that will see him shine under the spotlight of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. But this time, his role goes far beyond that of a mere competitor. Indeed, he has been chosen to carry the Olympic torch at the Paralympic Games, a recognition of his dedication and exceptional contribution to the world of sport.
Moreover, he has been selected as a volunteer for the Olympic Games, where he will play a crucial role in guiding journalist commentators during swimming competitions. His extensive experience and deep knowledge of the sport make him an invaluable asset for ensuring the smooth running of events and enriching the media's narratives. Koubrousli will embody the values of excellence, determination and integrity, inspiring those who follow him to reach new heights in their own journeys.
As Koubrousli prepares to dive into the Olympic arena once more, his story is a powerful reminder of the human capacity to overcome obstacles and achieve the impossible. Whether in the water or on dry land, Wael Koubrousli continues to shine as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all who have the privilege of knowing him.
