Oman has quite a line-up of winners, who have managed to put the country on the global map in the bodybuilding industry. From Haji Shaaban’s two-medal victory in 2009 and 2010 and Bin Salim Al Harthy who brought medals from Brazil, to the national team winning four medals in Mongolia in 2017, as the bodybuilding culture grows, one can see the country achieving advanced results at world championships.
“We hope to see a good turnout of young people at such tournaments next year and to achieve good results and represent Oman in other countries,” Haitham Sadiq said.
The Oman Bodybuilding Commission is working on developing the game and its culture, and taking care of athletes to achieve honourable results that reflect the development of the sport in the Sultanate. Even after winning medals around the world, Omani champions are hungrier than ever, and in full anticipation mode for the next round.
