May Al-Haji debuts in Ironman Calmar
Bahraini champion Mai Al-Hajji achieved a remarkable accomplishment after completing the Ironman Kalmar triathlon in Sweden, which took place in the city of Kalmar on Saturday, August 15, 2026. Mai spent 10 hours and 42 minutes to finish the three stages of the race, which included a 3.8-kilometer swim in the Baltic Sea, a 180-kilometer bike ride across the Öland Bridge, followed by a marathon of 42.2 kilometers through the city streets. This participation is considered one of the most challenging athletic feats and is especially significant as it marks the first time a Bahraini and Gulf athlete achieves seventh place in her age group in a global race that featured over 3,000 competitors. This achievement elevates Bahrain’s standing in the sport of triathlon. The success comes with full support from the Bahraini leadership and serves as a testament to the strong will of Bahraini athletes, highlighting their readiness to face international challenges.
