Ten Kuwaiti athletes will be competing at the Tokyo Olympics due to take place between July 23 and August 8. The athletes are:
Yacoub Alyouha – Men’s 110 m hurdles
Mudhawi Al-Shammari – Women’s 100 m
Mohammad Al-Mosawi – Men’s Karate
Lara Dashti – Women’s 50 m Freestyle Swimming
Abbas Qali – Men’s 100 m Freestyle Swimming
Abdullah Al-Rashidi – Men’s Skeet Shooting
Mansour Al-Rashidi – Men’s Skeet Shooting
Abdulrahman Al-Faihan – Men’s Trap Shooting
Talal Al-Rashidi – Men’s Trap Shooting
Abdulrahman Al-Fadhel – Men’s Single Sculls
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of buzz around the athletes even though there should be. They actually should have plastered them on billboards all around Kuwait similar to how Talabat did with restaurant owners last month.
You can follow the official account of the Kuwait Olympics on Instagram where they’re currently sharing stories of the athletes in Tokyo. @kuwaitolympic

I’m just really happy the Kuwait Olympic Committee is doing a good job shining the light on these players and supporting them, especially on social media
All the best to them!
Yes it is great that they are supporting the athletes and that they are able to represent Kuwait this time. In 2016 Kuwait was suspended from the olympics and athletes had to represent themselves independently.
Why was Kuwait suspended from the Olympics in 2016?

Yes, I don’t understand it. They should be a source of pride and inspiration to other citizens.
There should be more attention to this, and maybe even TV interviews with the athletes (if there wasn’t already)
Walked past Lara Dashti and Abbas Qali (I think it was them) in transit at Doha Airport last week. I didnt know who they were but did a second take coz they looked super smart (presentable) in their Q8 uniform.
Good luck, hope they have a great olympics 💪🏻
Looks like Mr. Fahad Dehaini ( 🔫 🥇) has retired.
I love Mohammad Al Mosawi!
Rooting for him.
Question – what is trap shooting? I’m an ignoramus.
Fully agree with you. The London 2012 and rio 2016 athletes got much more attention…
The Kuwait Olympic Instagram account posts great content on their story, worth following
Side note: which channels will be airing the olympics here?

Ps: Mark, my good sir, you really need to have edit/delete comment functions!
Hahaha I did Google it.
But thanks! That link was super cool. I’ve never seen it before!
Thanks habeebi
Haha no worries man glad you got the hang of it!
Lets hope no one pulls an “Ana Kuwaiti” move there,
dont wanna get banned this time !
Maybe if they were marketed thru Boutiqat they would have the star power like all the fake “influencers” have
Thanks, Mark for raising up this important issue!
Also, i think it would be nice of you if you have mentioned @kuwaitnews as a source you got your picture from.
I believe they are doing a tremendous job covering all breaking news here in Kuwait!
I link to the source of the news which is Kuna not KuwaitNews. The image is from KuwaitNews and they’re already mentioned in the image twice (title and bottom left).
you are absolutely right, sorry about that.
