The injury prevented champion Mohamed Khamis from completing the 88-kg powerlifting competitions at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, which is currently being held with the participation of 4,400 athletes from 163 countries.

The champion Muhammad Khamis entered the competitions with the ambition of winning and achieving a medal for the UAE, especially that he has three Paralympic medals (Athens gold in 2004, Beijing silver in 2008, and gold in Rio de Janeiro in 2016), and when he tried to lift a weight of 210 kg, he felt pain in the pectoral muscle from the left side. The injury he suffered while participating in the external camp in Macedonia a month before the start of the Tokyo 2020 session, where he began to recover from it, but the pain surprised him again, and our hero refused to prejudice his injury according to the recommendation of the team's medical staff.

Muhammad Khamis expressed his sadness at withdrawing from participation in the injury that brought him back, indicating that he had hoped to complete his career in the Tokyo Games, win a medal for the state and raise its flag high, but the circumstances did not help him to achieve this.

The Emirati champion said, "I will undergo a treatment program upon my arrival in Dubai, to recover and return to powerlifting competitions again."

At the end of his speech, our Paralympic hero Muhammad Khamis offered his apology to the wise leadership and the Emirati street for not being able to win a medal for the country, promising a speedy recovery and completion of the march.

The doctor of our national teams, Abdullah Al-Rahoumi, said: “Our hero Muhammad Khamis suffered a previous injury to the pectoral muscle, and an intensive treatment plan was drawn up to ensure his competition in the Paralympic competitions, but during the recent period the symptoms of the infection reappeared in high weights, which required close follow-up to ensure the possibility of Participation without any complications, and therefore it was recommended that the player withdraw in the event that these symptoms persist, especially in the midst of competitions in order to avoid any complications.”
