Matar Sène (born September 16, 1970 in Dakar) is a retired amateur Senegalese freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's light heavyweight category.[1] He picked up a silver medal in the 74-kg division at the 2003 All-Africa Games in Abuja, Nigeria, and also represented his nation Senegal at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Throughout his sporting career, Sene trained full-time for Ecurie Fass Wrestling Club in his native Dakar under his personal coach Lansana Coly.
Sene qualified for the Senegalese squad, as a 34-year-old veteran and a lone wrestler, in the men's 84 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He filled up an entry by the International Federation of Association Wrestling (FILA) through a tripartite invitation and an Olympic Solidarity program.[2] Sene lost all three matches each to eventual Olympic bronze medalist Sazhid Sazhidov of Russia by a rare 17–0 thrashing, Tajikistan's Shamil Aliev (3–6), and four-time Olympic veteran Nicolae Ghiţă of Romania (3–11), leaving him on the bottom of the pool and placing seventeenth in the final standings.[3] [4] [5]
