Al Ajami Claims Show-Jumping Gold

In the single rider jumping event, Qatari rider Faleh Al Ajami put up an outstanding performance. On his mare Qapella, he gave a perfect performance in the most important rounds to win the gold.

The win was the memorable end to Qatar’s Asian Games efforts. Al Ajami noted that Qapella’s work goes hand-in-hand with his own and that he is proud to be second on the last day of the tournament.

Bassem Mohammed Secures Bronze

Bassem Mohammed was a source of his country Qatar’s success with equestrian sport, as the handler showed himself to be calm under extremely tough conditions on the course. His accuracy brought the national team a second podium finish in the event, and an individual bronze medal.

The double went to demonstrate Qatar’s prowess in the sport of horses at the Games. The biggest boost in micro medals for the team was the result by two riders who had won individual medals.
