FIT AND READY ABU GHAUSH TO CARRY JORDAN FLAG

Jordan have been delivered a massive boost on the eve of the Opening Ceremony for the 18th Asian Games with the news that Ahmad Abu Ghaush has been given the all clear to compete.

The Olympic gold medallist has had a race against time to be fit after breaking a rib last month, but today the medical team have given him the thumbs up and he will carry the Jordan flag at the Ceremony in Jakarta, Indonesia.

“It’s an honour for me to be chosen to lead the parade,” said Abu Ghaush, 23. “I have always been proud to put Jordan on the global map when competing so carrying the flag will make me so incredibly proud.”
