Ali Jawed

Ali’s family fled the conflict between Lebanon and Israel, 
When he was just a young child at the age of six months, 
He was born without legs and now lives in London’s whirl, 
And is a British Paralympic powerlifter with -59kg cloths.

He took powerlifting up when he was sixteen years old, 
So made his city’s Paralympics where he finished fourth, 
Before that he was a Judoka star, but then he lifted, hold, 
Second place at the World juniors 2006, gold Euros forth.

The next year, 2008, he won gold again at World juniors,
Where he set three records: British junior and senior cool,
And also the European junior, and then he won gold stars, 
At the 2015 Euros in Eger, Hungary, and so Rio’s his pool.
