He ran in the fifth heat against eight other athletes, including Jamaican track star Usain Bolt, who eventually won the gold medal in the final. He finished the sprint race in eighth place by approximately half a second (0.51) behind Lebanon's Mohamad Siraj Tamim, with a time of 22.31 seconds. He failed to advance to the quarterfinals, as he placed sixtieth overall and was ranked below three mandatory slots for the next round.[2]
