PARALYMPIC athlete Abdullah Hayayei has died while preparing for the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships, which begin in London tomorrow, the International Paralympic Committee has confirmed.
Hayayei, from the United Arab Emirates, made his debut in the javelin and shot put events at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio, finishing sixth in javelin.
He was pronounced dead at the scene after being attended to by emergency services at the Newham Leisure Centre.

IPC President Sir Philip Craven said: “We are all truly devastated by this tragic news and the passing of Abdullah. The thoughts, prayers and condolences of the whole Paralympic Movement are with Abdullah’s family, friends and teammates.”
Hayayei was preparing to compete in his second worlds after finishing 8th in the shot put at the 2015 edition.
