Biography

Al-Yaari comes from Dhamar Governorate. He became the first Yemeni athlete to ever advance from the qualification round of an international competition when he qualified for the semi-finals of the 800 metres at the 2021 World Under-20 Championships in Nairobi, Kenya.[1]

In April 2023, Al-Yaari won the 800m gold medal at the West Asian Athletics Championships in Qatar, ahead of Oman's Hussain Mahmoud Al-Farsi and Qatar's Mubarak Rabi Mahmoud. The Yemeni ambassador to Qatar, Rajeh Badi, extended his congratulations to Al-Yaari for the win.[2]

His personal best time is 1:48.00 minutes in the 800 metres, achieved at the 2023 Arab U23 Championships in Radès.[3]
