Al-Mutairi's Olympic debut came at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he shot 134 out of 150 hits to force a two-way tie for tenth place with Finland's Raimo Kauppila in the men's double trap, just five targets away from the final cutoff.[3]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Al-Mutairi qualified for his second Kuwaiti team in the men's double trap, after having achieved a minimum qualifying score of 137 from his second-place finish at the Asian Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[1][4] Al-Mutairi marked a score of 131 out of 150 targets to finish in twelfth from a field of twenty-five shooters in the qualifying phase, failing to advance to the final round.[5][6]
