UAE sprinter Mohammed Hassan Al Noubi bowed out of the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday after impressing in the first preliminary heat of the 100 metres event.
In the first preliminary heat, Al Noubi achieved a third-place finish. The UAE athlete clocked 10.59 to take the third place behind Barakat Al Harthi (10.27) of Oman and Emanuel Archibald (10.30) of Guyana.
But Al Noubi finished eighth in the next round with a time of 10.64.
UAE’s campaign at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games ended with Al Noubi’s participation in the 100 metres event.
Al Noubi, who has won the 100-metre and 200-metre races at the national level, prepared for the Tokyo Games at a training camp in Bulgaria.
“My presence in the Olympic Games is a great opportunity to participate in front of the world champions and Olympic champions,” he had said on Friday.
“I can benefit a lot from their level and performance. Just by watching them, you can learn so much. I hope to gain invaluable experience from Tokyo and use that to win medals for UAE in future events.”
The sprinter had also thanked the country’s Olympic committee for offering him the ideal preparations for the Olympics.
"I extend my thanks and appreciation to the National Olympic Committee, UAE Athletics Federation, Sharjah Sports Council and all those who supported me in my path to reach this Olympic stage,” he said.
