Amiri competed in the Iran's Strongest Man competition for 11 consecutive years, winning the event in 2009. A car accident in December 2011 led to his disability and his eventual decision to enter the field of para-athletics.[5]
Just weeks before the Tokyo Paralympics were due to start, Amiri sustained an arm injury and initially withdrew from the Games as he was unable to continue with his training.[6] After undergoing hospital treatment, he reversed his decision not to enter the event, vowing to put all his effort into his first throw no matter what the cost.[5]
