Rad Aweisat (Arabic: رعد عويسات; born October 27, 1986) is a Palestinian swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events.[1] Aweisat qualified for the men's 100 m butterfly, as Palestine's youngest athlete (aged 17), at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He received a Universality place from FINA as part of his Olympic Solidarity program, without meeting an entry time.[2][3] He participated in heat one against two other swimmers Luis Matias of Angola and Fernando Medrano of Nicaragua. He rounded out a small field of three to last place with a slowest time of 1:01.60, nearly 11 seconds off the world record set by U.S. swimmer Ian Crocker.[3] Aweisat failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed fifty-ninth overall in the preliminaries.[4][5]
