Our talented young champion Muammer Barshim won the bronze medal in the high jump at the fourth Asian Beach Games in Phuket, Thailand. Barshim put in a good performance that had the Thai crowd cheering him on strongly, especially after the Thai champion was eliminated from the competition, but Barshim’s run ultimately ended when he failed to clear 1.94m, having started the competition by clearing his opening height on his first attempt. The title went to the Syrian athlete, who managed to clear 1.94m, with a Kazakh athlete finishing behind him
In the 60m sprint, Qatar’s Al Dosari and Adam Ibrahim failed to reach the podium, with Al Dosari finishing sixth, while Adam Ibrahim, in a stunning surprise, finished eighth.
