Dina Mostafa, Saudi Arabia's first female Asian Games medalist
Saudi karate athlete Dina Mustafa won a bronze medal at the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, making her the first Saudi female athlete to win a medal in the history of the Asian Games for adults. Dina’s achievement came as a surprise after she turned around a 0-3 deficit against Nepal’s Erika Gurung to win with a score of 8-7. This was a historic milestone for Saudi participation in this event, especially since she competed in the over 68-kilogram weight category. This victory is considered a significant event, coming three years after her rival Gurung secured a silver medal at the Hangzhou 2023 edition, which underscores the importance of her accomplishment and highlights the growing development of women’s sports in the Kingdom.
