# Talk:United Arab Emirates at the 2008 Summer Olympics

This article says that Latifa Al Maktoum is the daughter of Sheikh Mohamed Al Maktoum. Given that her full name is Latifa bint Ahmed Al Maktoum (i.e., daughter of Ahmed), that seems doubtful. She is more likely to be the daughter of shooter Ahmed Al Maktoum. Aridd (talk) 22:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Sailing

from the Arab World — "from an Arab country"?
Yes MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Why is the fourth-round "43" struck out in the table?
It meant the result did not count towards his final position MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Why didn't it count? Probably worth mentioning in the paragraph above. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:27, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Shooting

How did the quota spots work?
Added MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
a four-way shoot-out — Was this required because only the top seven were to advance?
The top six were allowed to advance to the final MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
So he tied for sixth; lost the shoot-out; and ended up placing seventh? From the way it is worded ("he took part in the qualifying round of the men's double trap, placing seventh... Ahmad Al-Makotum subsequently lost a four-way shoot-out"). If he indeed tied for sixth, perhaps something like "he took part in the qualifying round of the men's double trap, tying for sixth... Ahmad Al-Makotum subsequently lost a four-way shoot-out... Ultimately he was ranked seventh." --Usernameunique (talk) 17:33, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Saeed Al Maktoum — Any relation to Ahmad Al Maktoum? Looks like they're cousins.
Yes but am not able to find a specific source that states all of this. MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Source 27 says the shooters are cousins. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:33, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Shaikka Maitha Al Maktoum — Any relation to the shooters?
See response to the third point in the shooting section. MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Source 41 says she's a cousin of Saeed Al Maktoum. That means she's a cousin of Ahmad Al Maktoum as well, which this article confirms. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:37, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
