Ahmad Al Barahmeh was serving with the Jordan Armed Forces on the northern border between Jordan and Syria in 2015 when he suffered a near fatal gunshot wound.
Thankfully, he survived but the gunshot caused a spinal cord injury that results in Ahmad now needing to use a wheelchair.
Ahmad had never taken on a serious sporting challenge before he was selected to participate for Team Jordan at the Invictus Games Sydney 2018.
Ahmad took great pride in representing his country and for winning a medal each in athletics and powerlifting.
The medals are secondary for Ahmad who delights in showing off his fighting spirit and is excited to return for the Invictus Games Düsseldorf 2023.
