Qatar Olympic Committee (IOC code: QAT) is the National Olympic Committee representing Qatar.
History
The QOC was formed in 1979 and was granted full recognition by the International Olympic Committee in 1980.[1]
Female competitors
Until the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Qatar was one of three counties that had never had a female competitor at the Olympic games.[2] Qatar eventually sent four women, in swimming (Nada Arkaji), athletics (Noor Hussain Al-Malki), table tennis (Aya Majdi) and shooting (Bahiya Al-Hamad).[2] Bahiya al-Hamad was also set to carry the Qatari flag at the opening ceremony, in what she said was a "truly historic moment".[2]
