SWSF concludes 4th Amateur Shooting Challenge

New amendments to the competition system

This edition was distinguished by amendments to the structure of the competition, as the two individual categories (juniors and women) were cancelled and replaced with the duo category, where each two participants formed one team to take on the challenge and compete with other teams.

The challenge included two days of competition, where each participant fired 20 training shots on the first day, while the competition day saw 20 shots counted for each player, to add up the total points of the duo to determine the winning team.

Championship results and honours

The competitions resulted in the duo Dalal Al Harmoudi and Hamda Al Harmoudi winning first place after achieving a total of 186 points, so the team won the gold medals. The duo Dunya Wasalati and Rawan Al Aalami came in second place with a total of 172 points, while Amal Ghanem and Manour Mohammed came in third place with 169.8 points, after a strong competitive performance that reflected the advanced level of the participants in the championship.

Noura Al Hamar, Head of the Community Sports Department at SWSF, expressed her pride in the success of the fourth edition of the Amateur Shooting Challenge, praising the distinguished competitive level witnessed by the championship this year, and stressing that this event reflects SWSF commitment to enhancing women's presence in the sports scene.

Al Hamar said that SWSF is delighted with the turnout for this edition, which reflects the growing interest in sports among women.
