The United Arab Emirates star, a silver medal winner at the IPC Athletics World Championships last year, was looking to back up his victory over 200m yesterday.

His triumph never looked in doubt after he established a comfortable lead during the event at the Police Officer’s Club stadium, crossing in a winning time of 1min 56.91.

Qatar’s Mohammed Al-Kubaisi Rashid and Khalid Al-Hajri were able to secure podium finishes after clocking 2:13.34 and 2:58.90 respectively.

“I’m satisfied with my level but I must search for my faults,” said Hammadi afterwards.

“What is important is that I fix any mistakes from the past few years and make sure I have improved.

“I’m looking to improve myself, I’m not looking for times.

“This is my first competition of the year and I have my plans, also to prepare myself for my next tournaments.”

Rashed Aldhaheri delivered further success for the hosts after he triumphed in the men’s 1500m T54 event, by clocking a time of 3:25.19.

His team-mate Badir Alhawasin was able to claim the silver medal by crossing in 3:26.40.

Thailand’s Suphachai Songphinit and his guide Wanchai Khaodee secured a win in the T11 400m by finishing in a time of 55.14, edging out Iran’s Arash Khosravi and Javad Marghashi by two seconds.

Japan’s Keiko Konishi secured gold in the women’s T53 100m final, after she completed the sprint distance in 18.28.

Yu-Lien Chen of Chinese Taipei finished in 18.50 to secure the silver medal.

In the T36 event, Hong Kong’s Kwok Fan Yam beat her team-mate Sze Yan Wong by a second to win gold in 16.46.

Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli, the Asian record holder in the F20 men’s shot put, comfortably claimed gold in his event as the Malaysian threw 15.32 metres.

Iran, though, had the most success in throwing competitions after Hamed Amiri achieved a distance of 24.10m in the F54 javelin, while Maryam Soltani won the women’s F34 event by throwing 16.21.
