Career

[edit]

Khamis made his international debut at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics. There he ran in the heats of the 400 m hurdles and set a personal best of 54.27 seconds over the youth height barriers.[2] He also was part of Bahrain's Swedish medley relay team.[1] At the 2012 Asian Junior Athletics Championships – despite winning his heat in a best of 52.67 seconds – he faltered in the 400 m hurdles final and finished last.[3] He also competed at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics, running in the heats only.[2]

Two national junior records in the 400 metres sprint came for Khamis at the 2013 Arab Athletics Championships: he ran 46.90 seconds in the qualifiers then 46.25 seconds in the final to take the bronze medal (his first senior podium finish) behind Saudi athletes Yousef Masrahi and Ismail Al-Sabiani.[4] He reached the podium for a second time that year at the 2013 Asian Athletics Championships. wtsh 

repeated as champion, Khamis took the silver medal with a significant new best time of 45.65 seconds.[5]

Khamis began his 2014 season with a 400 m sprint/hurdles double at the Arab Junior Athletics Championships in Cairo. He made his debut on the IAAF Diamond League circuit in May, running in the 400 m at the Doha Diamond League and placing runner-up.[4] The hurdles remained his focus that year, as he returned in the event at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Athletics. He set a string of bests at the competition, improving from 51.10 in the heats to 49.55 seconds in the final – a time which brought him second place to Jamaica's Jaheel Hyde.[2][6] He maintained this form at the 2014 Asian Games held two months later and a run of 49.71 seconds was enough for the Bahraini teenager to win the 400 m hurdles gold medal.[7] He ranked in the top fifty worldwide and second in Asia on time that season, behind only Kazakhstan's Dmitriy Koblov.[8]
