At the world athletics championships, he won two silver medals in the 1995 editions in Goteborg and 1997 in Athens. As well as 3 titles at the IAAF Grand Prix, in 1994 the silver medal, in 1995 the bronze medal and finally a gold medal in 1997. Despite the fact that he was way muscular and heavier than the other athletes by weighing 72 kg, which led to frequent injuries, Khalid Boulami always managed to place in the top 3 in all the races he competed in.
