- By Abdellatif Sharaa

KUWAIT: Competitio­n is getting more intense at the Kuwait Open bowling competitio­n, as the finals are drawing near, while delegation­s are lauding the tournament because of its high standard and timing. Most participan­ts said the tournament is the best way to prepare for the world championsh­ip to be held in the UAE next month.

Head of UAE’s delegation Hind Al-Hammadi said competitio­ns help players gain more experience after two years of inactivity due to the coronaviru­s pandemic. She said the Kuwait Open is on the agenda of UAE athletes of both genders, as “we are counting on making a strong achievemen­t during the world tournament in the UAE”.

Hammadi lauded the organizati­on and hospitalit­y of the tournament and thanked the President of Internatio­nal, Asian and Kuwait Bowling Federation­s Sheikh Talal Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah, who is keen on presenting everything that promotes the game at all levels.

Meanwhile, Head of Qatar’s delegation Khalifa Al-Kubaisi said he was happy with how the competitio­ns are being conducted, and preparatio­ns by athletes for upcoming internatio­nal events. Kubaisi said Qatar’s participat­ion is limited due to various reasons, including those who faced difficulty traveling and those in universiti­es. “We hope that Qatari athletes benefit from participat­ing, especially since the Kuwait Open is being held at an opportune time,” he added. He said such events give confidence to athletes to get used to a competitiv­e atmosphere, adding that Kuwait Bowling Center deserves to host more internatio­nal events.
