Hamdi Ali (full name Hamdi Mahamat Alamine Saleh; born 15 April 1997) is a Qatari high jumper. He was the winner of the 2021 Islamic Solidarity Games in the men's high jump, and he was a bronze medalist at the 2016 World Junior Championships.

Biography

In 2015, with a 2.20 m high jump best at the age of 18, Ali left Saudi Arabia to train in Doha, Qatar with Mutaz Essa Barshim. Ali considers Barshim, who he has known since 2011, to be his mentor. Ali takes inspiration from U.S. rapper Tupac Shakur.

Ali competed in a number of regional international championships starting in 2016, when he won the bronze medal at the IAAF World U20 Championships. In 2017, Ali won the Eberstadt Meeting title in the high jump.

In 2021, Ali won his first international gold medal at the Islamic Solidarity Games. The next year, he won his second international championship, this time sharing the title with Olympic gold medalist Mutaz Essa Barshim at the 2022 Gulf Cooperation Council Games.

In 2022, Ali joined the West Texas A&M Buffaloes track and field team (an NCAA Division II school). At West Texas A&M, Ali broke the school record in the high jump, setting a personal indoor best of 2.21 metres.
