Biography
Haroun was recruited at a young age from Sudan by Qatar. He gained eligibility to represent Qatar in February 2015.[2] His first recorded performance was a time of 45.74 seconds for the 400 m in Doha in April 2014, which placed him among the world's most promising young sprinters for the event.[3][4][failed verification] He announced himself on the elite scene in his next performance at the XL Galan in February 2015 by running an Asian indoor record of 45.39 seconds, which was also the third fastest ever by a junior category athlete and the fastest ever indoor debut.[5][6] His next outing one month later he set an outdoor best of 44.68 seconds.[7] He was a comfortable victor at the 2015 Arab Athletics Championships in April, beating Egypt's Anas Beshr by nearly a second.[8]
He ran at the Doha Diamond League meeting and won the non-Diamond-race contest with another sub-45-second run.[9] On his IAAF Diamond League debut proper, he finished fifth at the Prefontaine Classic.[10] He quickly established himself as one of Asia's top senior athletes at the 2015 Asian Athletics Championships by beating two-time defending champion Yousef Masrahi of Saudi Arabia in the 400 m final with his third 44.68-second clocking of the season. Masrahi was indignant about losing to his younger rival, saying "44.68 is nothing for me actually. I will come back. I will break the Asian record again".[11]
On June 26, 2021, Haroun died in a car crash in Doha, at the age of 24.[12][13][14]
