In addition to Gul’s gold in weightlifting, silver in handball, and silver in solo jiu-jitsu; (16) other colorful medals are for athletics in our participation in the Chinese Masters, including (ten) golds, (4 silvers)* and (five) bronzes. It placed us at the forefront of (the Arabs), while the rest of the entries are (honorary) if we measure that the entries are for competition to collect colored medals and improve numbers.
• I believe that if we measure Bahraini participation in *(19)* games; Among them, it lacks (popularity) in internal participations (leagues), meaning that it is not practiced at the club level. To produce champions from local competitions, which are mostly individual, while other countries prepare their athletes and participate with them to win colorful medals.
• Therefore, the spread of fighting games through competitions that are organized internationally from time to time, and local clubs can be included in them to extract players who may be talented in them. Such as wrestling, boxing, jiu-jitsu, judo, and taekwondo; These are games in which we can win medals like other Gulf countries!
• The general trend in the sports street may be towards team sports; This is because it is practiced through regular, seasonal leagues, because the achievement of (athletics) would not have been the same had we not started our steps correctly through local competitions between clubs and schools annually. Before the idea of (naturalization) of external harvest came.
• Therefore, you feel that the progression in athletics was not random, and therefore the (colored) medals currently in this participation embody joy when the Royal Anthem was played in the current Asiad (10) times, and the Bahraini flag was raised *(19)* times at the coronation; This is enough to dedicate television programs and pages to it daily.
• Here I repeat what I mentioned in the previous thought; That the media is an essential partner in the achievement (whether we like it or not) because it will increase media interest; So that there is no hesitation, our participation is (honorary) and it is not, even though we (Arabs) are almost running after the achievements of group games, and in each of them you can only win one medal!
• It remains for me to point out here the (bronze) medal won by the Palestinian (Hala Al-Qadi) in karate, and I believe that (Al-Qadi’s) medal has a (magical) impact among our brothers in Palestine. And those who suffer (both things) to confirm their existence through their sports participation in various international tournaments from (the womb of) suffering.
