Our outstanding champion Musab Abdulrahman Balla said he knew he was capable of winning the race, but pushed away any excessive confidence and paid attention to the instructions of his coach Jama Aden, reaching the finish line crowned with gold. Musab added that the race was tough, and that the champions of Kuwait, Japan and Kazakhstan were fiercer and stronger in the race, and that it was not easy, but that he knew his abilities and when to use them for Qatar’s team, confirming that his indoor 800m gold, following his outdoor win in the same event in India last July, represents a big boost to continue on the path of excelling in the race, and that his ambition is a world-level success at the upcoming World Championships in Poland.
Musab Balla dedicated his Asian success to the Qatar Athletics Federation family, led by Major General Dahlan Jumaan Al Hamad, and the technical staff working at the federation.
