His brother Ali Khalil, is also his coach, and the Australian Olympic coach for 2012.,[1]
Khalil is engaged to fellow Olympic taekwondo athlete Carmen Marton.[2][3] The couple were married under Islamic law (but not under Australian civil law) prior to the London Olympics in 2012.[4]
Kahalil qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympics,[5] which will be his second Olympics[6] as a competitor.
Khalil qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. In the men's 58 kg event in the round of 16, he lost to Ramnarong Sawekwiharee 23-7 and therefore did not advance any further in the competition.[7] Australia at the 2020 Summer Olympics details the results in depth.
