Born in the city of Oujda,[1] Cheaouri made his international debut at the 2007 Pan Arab Games, where he finished in sixth place.[2] He improved his personal best to 5.20 m in 2008 and quickly ascended to the top of the regional scene by winning the gold medal at the 2008 African Championships in Athletics, beating decathletes Larbi Bouraada and Willem Coertzen.[3]

He did not compete in 2009 and 2010, but returned to form in 2011 with a clearance of 5.20 m in Meknes. He placed ninth at the 2011 Military World Games,[4] was runner-up at the Arab Athletics Championships, then took the gold medal at the 2011 Pan Arab Games.[5] A vault of 5.10 m was enough to secure his second continental win at the 2012 African Championships in Athletics.[1]

In 2016 he tested positive for stanozolol and was banned from competition for four years between 30 April 2016 and 9 June 2020.[6]

gollark: This is basically just word association games.
gollark: They actually build models, look at how it could work, see how it interacts with things, and if possible find ways to test it against what actually happens.
gollark: Physicists do not sit around armchairishly going "hmm, what if stuff gets mass because of a 'field'?" and then getting it named after them.
gollark: If you are to actually make bold claims about theoretical physics instead of just paraphrasing random quantum things it would be beneficial to learn the relevant maths so you can understand the models.
gollark: I'm glad you are adding topic labels to this. This is very useful and I'd never have known this without you mentioning it.
