Syrian athletes raised the flag of the country high and played the anthem of the homeland to millions of followers who were dazzled by the high technical performance and the determination of the Syrian sportsmen to make achievements for their country.
Several medals did not come by chance, but came after great fatigue and effort from the Syrian champions, their coaches, and the General Sports Federation, which spared no effort in securing the best equipment and long-term foreign camps in Russia, the Czech Republic, Japan, Iraq and Iran.
This achievement, which Syria hadn’t seen the like since nearly thirty years ago, drew a smile on the lips of the Syrians who followed our heroes moment by moment, interacted with them and encouraged them through social media, and they were a strong support for them in reaching the podiums in this great sporting event.
The Syrian champions opened their golden record in the tournament through the equestrian portal of showjumping for the teams through the jockeys Ahmed Hamsho, Shadi Gharib, Amr Hamsho and Laith Al-Ali, ahead of the teams of Turkey, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Monaco.
The second gold was won by boxer Ahmed Ghosoun, in the 75 kg category, after defeating the Serbian boxer named Mimic in the first round, then against French Fendor in the semi-finals, and finally against Algerian Younes Nemouchi to maintain his title as the gold medalist of the Mediterranean tournament in Targuana, Spain.
In equestrianism, Syrian athletes won gold in the singles competitions through the jockey Ahmed Hamsho, who starred in the competition, especially in the final round, and was the fastest time among the jockeys.
