TAEKWONDO – BAHRAIN’S senior women’s and men’s taekwondo national teams are in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to compete in the 27th Asian Taekwondo Championships 2026, taking place from today to Sunday.
The event, organised and run by the Asian Taekwondo Union, also acts as a qualifier for the 20th Asian Games scheduled for later this year in Aichi and Nagoya, Japan.
The kingdom’s delegation featured four athletes apiece amongst the women and men. The women’s jins include Fatema Kalawadh, Hanan Alshurooqi, Ola Aldoseri, and Sara Jallab; while the men’s squad includes Muath Ebrahim, Abdulla Alhiddi, Abdulla Aldoseri, and Mohammed Ali Mohammed.
Kalawadh and Ebrahim were just last week crowned champions of their respective weight divisions in the taekwondo events of the fourth GCC Games in Doha, Qatar. They will be looking to translate their regional gold to continental success.
The Bahraini athletes are being accompanied in the Mongolian capital with a team of officials, led by Abdulla Aldoy and Abdelhamed Ebrahim.
