In 2012 Almutairi was selected for the Kuwait team at the Summer Paralympics in London. In the 100m (T34) he set a new T33 world record of 17.67, but this was not good enough to see him through the heats. This same situation occurred in the 200m, where he set another world record (31.02), but failed to finish fast enough to reach the finals. He also competed in the &lt;a href="Athletics%20at%20the%202012%20Summer%20Paralympics%20%E2%80%93%20Men%27s%20javelin%20throw"&gt;T33/34 javelin&lt;/a&gt;, but his only legal throw of 17.34 saw him drop out in the first round.
