The UAE’s equestrian rider Omar Al Marzouqi has qualified for the final round in the individual show jumping event at the Paris Olympics. Al Marzouqi, who previously won a silver medal at the Asian Games, completed his round with just one error, finishing in 79.56 seconds.

Key Takeaways

  • Omar Al Marzouqi qualifies for the individual show jumping final at the Paris Olympics.
  • Al Marzouqi finished his round in 79.56 seconds with only one error.
  • The top 30 riders from a pool of 75 advanced to the final stage.

Historic Achievement for UAE Equestrianism

The UAE National Olympic Committee announced Al Marzouqi’s qualification on social media, marking a significant milestone for UAE equestrianism. Sultan Mohammed Al Yahyai, a board member of the Emirates Equestrian and Racing Federation, emphasized the importance of this achievement, calling it a "paradigm shift" for the team.

"This historic participation represents a milestone in the UAE’s equestrian and show jumping journey," Al Yahyai said. "The presence of world champions in the show jumping competitions is a strong motivator for the UAE riders, encouraging them to showcase their high capabilities."

Team Performance and Preparations

Earlier in the competition, the UAE show jumping team, which included Abdullah Al Marri, Omar Al Marzouqi, Ali Al Karbi, and Salem Al Suwaidi, finished 18th in the team event. Extensive preparations in Europe and participation in various international championships have been crucial for enhancing the riders’ readiness.

Other UAE Athletes at the Paris Olympics

The UAE has sent a 14-member team to the Paris Games, with notable performances across various sports:

  • Cycling: Safiya Al Sayegh, the first female Emirati cyclist to qualify for the Olympics, participated in the road race.
  • Judo: Judoka Aram Grigorian came close to featuring in the bronze-medal playoff but lost in the repechage round.
  • Swimming: Yousef Al Matrooshi (men’s 100-meter freestyle) and Maha Al Shehhi (women’s 200m freestyle) set their personal best records.

Al Marzouqi and Al Sayegh had the honor of carrying the UAE’s flag during the opening ceremony on July 26.

Looking Ahead

As the final round approaches, all eyes will be on Omar Al Marzouqi as he aims to secure a medal for the UAE. His qualification not only highlights his individual talent but also underscores the growing prominence of UAE equestrianism on the global stage.
