Zid Abou Hamed (Arabic: زيد أبو حامد; born 22 April 1970) is an Australian-Syrian former track and field athlete who specialized in the 400 metres hurdles.
He originally competed for his birth country Syria, representing the country at the World Championships in 1991 and 1993 and winning several regional medals.
He then changed nationality to Australia, was ineligible for the 1996 Summer Olympics[1] but started at the World Championships in 1997 and 1999 World Championships. In February 1999 in Sydney he achieved a career best time of 48.87 seconds.
When he was not selected for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, he appealed to the Australian Olympic Committee but lost.[2] As a result, he competed for Syria instead.
