Ismail’s stellar run means he will compete in the repechage round on Monday to vie for a spot in the semifinals. The 27-year-old athlete outpaced Jamaica’s renowned sprinter Sean Bailey, marking a significant milestone in his Olympic debut.
American Michael Norman clinched the top spot in the heat, finishing with a time of 44.10 seconds.
Before his Olympic campaign, Ismail won the gold medal in the 400-meter sprint at the Kazakhstan Bronze Athletics Tour in June, setting a then-personal best of 45.03 seconds. Earlier in 2023, he also triumphed at the Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in Kazakhstan, taking home gold in the 400-meter sprint with a time of 46.25 seconds.
In Paris, Ismail joins a strong contingent of Qatari track and field athletes, including Abderrahman Samba, Abubaker Haydar, Bassem Humeida, and Ismail Dawood, all aiming to make their mark on the global stage.
