## Biography

Ahmed Issa (17 July 1943 – 1983) was a Chadian middle-distance runner. He was part of Chad’s first Olympic delegation at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where he reached the semifinals of the men’s 800 metres. Footage of him training and competing appeared in the documentary film *Tokyo Olympiad* (1965), directed by Kon Ichikawa.

Issa returned to the Olympics in 1968 in Mexico City, competing in the 800 metres and 1500 metres. He won a bronze medal in the 1500 metres at the 1965 All-Africa Games in Brazzaville and set Chadian national records in both events.
