fathimath competed for the maldives , as a 13-year-old teen , in the women 's 50 m freestyle at the 2000 summer olympics in sydney .
she received a ticket from fina , under a universality program , in an entry time of 34.66 .
she challenged six other swimmers in heat two , including cambodia 's two-time olympian hem raksmey .
braving against the deep waters of an olympic-size pool , fathimath fought off a sprint battle from raksmey to grab a sixth seed in a new maldivian record of 32.36 and cut off her entry standard by more than two seconds .
fathimath 's best effort was not enough to put her through to the semifinals , as she placed sixty-ninth overall in the prelims .
