Mamadou Samba Bah (born 13 May 1995) is a Guinean judoka who competes in the under 73kg category.
Selected to compete at the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, he was drawn in his first match against Tsend-Ochiryn Tsogtbaatar who would go on and win the bronze medal for Mongolia.[1] As a Guinean competitor he had to be granted special dispensation to compete because he missed the official weigh-in after the Guinean federation initially pulled their athletes from the Games over fears around the COVID-19 pandemic, before rescinding that decision after the games had started.[2][3]
