The team won one gold medal through Mohammed Al-Mutaiwi in the “Individual against the clock” race, in addition to 6 silver medals and 5 bronze medals.
The national cycling team won 32 medals in the Arab Track Championship, in Egypt last month, bringing its medal count to 44 in the two championships. The youth and junior teams participated in the general individual race that was held at the conclusion of the tournament, and they succeeded in presenting an outstanding level in their first participation at the Arab level. Mansour Bouasiba, President of the Emirates Cycling Federation, expressed his happiness with the participation in the Arab Championship with such a number of male and female players.
Through it, the federation aims to prepare riders to be in the men’s and women’s national teams, to complement the careers of the currently available players and build strong teams in various age groups. Bouassiba praised the rising cyclist, Abdullah Jassim, who was strong in the overall individual race, competing with the Algerian and Moroccan teams in the strongest races of the championship, and he succeeded in continuing the race until the finish line, winning a historic silver medal for him, even though he was only 21 years old.
