Marella Mamoun (Arabic: ماريلا مأمون; born 16 May 1982) is a Syrian former swimmer, who specialized in middle-distance freestyle events.[1] Mamoun competed only in the women's 200 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She received a ticket from FINA, under a Universality program, in an entry time of 2:16.17.[2] She participated in heat one against two other swimmers Nisha Millet of India and Pamela Vásquez of Honduras. She rounded out a small field of swimmers to last place in a time of 2:18.78, trailing behind leader Millet by almost ten seconds. Mamoun failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-ninth overall in the prelims.[3][4]
