Mehdi has chosen the sport of Triathlon because he feels it is the only sport which can contain his excess energy. He is motivated by participating in international races like World Cups and World Championships series and strives to represent Africa and to be the first Moroccan triathlete in London Olympic games in 2012. After Mehdi finishing his studies in 2013, he aims to reach his best performance level for Rio.
