Saidur Rahman Dawn

Saidur Rahman Dawn (born 18 January 1963) is a Bangladeshi sprinter. Dawn initially self-trained on a grass field, manually timing his runs with the help of his friends. He then gained a coach at the end of seventeen. Prior to the 1984 Summer Olympics, he was a psychology student and lived in Rajshahi.

At the time, he was regarded as "the fastest man in Bangladesh" and was invited to become the first Bangladeshi Olympian. The Bangladesh Olympic Association received some money from the International Olympic Committee for equipment and flights to the Summer Games, thus sending Dawn. He was designated as the nation's flagbearer in the opening ceremonies. He did not progress further from the heats of the men's 100 and 200 metres races.
