SHOOTING PLANS DISCUSSED

The Kingdom’s top shooters have met with senior officials to plot an exciting future for the sport in Jordan.

His Excellency Hussein Hazzaa Al-Majali, President of the Royal Jordanian Shooting Federation, led the meeting which also saw the top achievers recognised by the federation.

Al Majali highlighted the improvements that the Federation has implemented and listened to the players so that they can work together to ensure sustainable development for years to come.

The ceremony saw Samira Bataina, Alaa Eid and Zaid Al-Lawati all recognised for their impressive performances at the Asian Championships in Kuwait where they achieved scores that would have been good enough to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the 10m pistol.

Asmaa Zaid was honored for her bronze medal at the Arab Championships in Qatar and the men's team of Raed Al-Qurashi, Abdullah Al-Batayneh and Mohammed Al-Ziyud were also rewarded for their bronze medal at the same event in the 10m pistol.
