He qualified upon being selected by the Oman Athletic Association. Alsadi placed seventh in his heat out of the eight competitors that competed in his heat and did not advance to the semifinals.
Background
The 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, were held from 19 to 27 August 2023. The Championships were held at the National Athletics Centre.[1] To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time or distance), place in a specific position at select competitions, be a wild card entry, or qualify through their World Athletics Ranking at the end of the qualification period.[2]
As Oman did not meet any of the four standards, they could send either one male or one female athlete in one event of the Championships who has not yet qualified.[2] The Oman Athletic Association selected sprinter Mohamed Obaid Alsadi who previously competed for the nation at the 2017 IAAF World Championships held in London. At the time, he held a personal best of 20.62 seconds and was ranked 206 in the world for the event.[3][4]
