At age nineteen, Inabinet became the youngest Australian shooter to qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he competed in the men's 10 m air rifle, along with his teammate Timothy Lowndes. He placed forty-first in the preliminary rounds of this event, with a total score of 584 targets, tying his position with Norway's Espen Berg-Knutsen.
Four years after competing in his last Olympics, Inabinet qualified for his second Australian team, as a 23-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by winning the air rifle from the 2007 Oceania Shooting Championships in Sydney. He scored a total of 579 points in the preliminary rounds of the 10 m air rifle, by one point ahead of Pakistan's Siddique Umer, finishing only in forty-seventh place.[3] Nearly a week, Inabinet competed for his second event, 50 m rifle 3 positions, where he was able to shoot 389 targets in a prone position, and 376 each in standing and in kneeling, for a total score of 1,141 points, finishing only in forty-fifth place.[4][5]
