Bashir Ahmad Rahmati (born June 5, 1985 in Parwan Province) is a retired amateur Afghan freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's featherweight category.[1] Under an Olympic Solidarity program, Rahmati qualified for the Afghan squad in the men's featherweight class (55 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens through a tripartite invitation from the International Federation of Associated Wrestling (FILA).[2][3] He lost two straight matches to Uzbekistan's Dilshod Mansurov and Russia's Mavlet Batirov, who eventually took home the Olympic gold medal at the end of the tournament, with a greater superiority effort, finishing last in the prelim pool and twenty-second overall in the final standings.[4]
