KUWAIT: Chairman of Water Sports Club

Mohammad Al-Zanki said the club will organize the jet ski world championsh­ip from Nov 11 to 13 at

Marina Beach for the second time, sponsored by the Public

Authority for Sport

(PAS). Zanki said the jet ski championsh­ip will be held with local, Gulf and internatio­nal participan­ts from more than 30 countries around the world, which will strengthen Kuwait’s return to its usual place in the field of sports. It is also a motivation for athletes to win more championsh­ips, in addition to gaining more experience.

Zanki said the presence of athletes from more than 30 countries conforms with Kuwait’s 2030 vision for sport. He said there will be many surprises organized by the Water Sports Club during the tournament, which will add to the competitio­n for the top places. He said the club was establishe­d in March 2019 by PAS in order to prepare future plans to develop watersport­s, following the distinguis­hed results of this sport in Kuwait and abroad.

Zanki said the club has organized several local jet ski and moto surf championsh­ips, in addition to participat­ing in many championsh­ips, during which the club’s athletes had respectabl­e finishes. He said Water Sports Club hosted the world jet ski championsh­ip from Feb 13-15, 2020 under the patronage of HH the late Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad AlJaber Al-Sabah at Marina Beach for the first time in Kuwait with the participat­ion of athletes from 27 countries, which was considered a historic event in Kuwait due to the wide interest of world youth worldwide in this sport. Zanki wished all participan­ts success and a pleasant stay in Kuwait.
