2009 for Bahrain (iaaf.org, 20 Mar 2009)

He began running to get to and from school. (iaaf.org, 20 Mar 2009)

As a boy he often skipped school to focus on his training. His father, who was never supportive of his running career, kicked him out of their house as a result. He spent over a year living on the streets before he earned a spot on a club team and a salary. (iaaf.org, 20 Mar 2009)
