Qatari Olympic champion Mutaz Barshim has made an unprecedented achievement in the Qatari sport by winning the silver medal in the high jump competition in the Olympic Games at Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Barshim has successfully cleared 2.36m.
This is the first silver medal for Qatar in its Olympic Games history
Barshim previously took bronze at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
In Rio, Barshim, the world indoor silver medallist, narrowly missed out on Qatar's first Olympic gold.
Canada's Derek Drouin beat a quality field to add the Olympic high jump crown to his world title after a cliff-hanger of a final.
Drouin cleared 2.38 metres in Tuesday's competition, edging Barshim into the silver medal spot to become Canada's first Olympic high jump champion since 1932.
Mutaz Essa Barshim reacts after his success.
Ukraine's Bohdan Bondarenko, who was runner-up to Drouin at last year's world championships, took bronze with 2.33m.
"There was obviously some pressure but I'm very proud of the way I jumped," Drouin told reporters.
"I didn't feel anxious at all. I certainly was calm and I was hungry to come out here and win gold.
"I'm sure people are going pretty crazy back home," added the 26-year-old, who won bronze in London four years ago.
"Four years ago I was very, very relieved but I didn't think it was my best day. Now I thrive in situations like this and I would have been disappointed with anything less than gold."
