Basheen: 11 sports to podiums with 50 scholarships
The Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee focused on identifying 11 sports as priorities for achieving medals in international competitions, as part of its strategy to enhance performance in major tournaments. These sports include athletics, judo, taekwondo, karate, jiu-jitsu, swimming, weightlifting, shooting, equestrian, fencing, and wrestling. The selections were based on studies of other countries’ experiences and highlighted that medal achievements in global Olympic accomplishments were strongly associated with these sports. Additionally, the committee launched the "Sports Scholarship" initiative, offering 50 annual scholarships to outstanding athletes to study at sports universities around the world.
