TABLE TENNIS HAS OLYMPIC DREAM
Mar 15, 2016
While much of Jordan’s Olympic build-up has been focused on swimming, taekwondo and boxing, the sport of table tennis has quietly crept onto the Jordan Olympic Committee’s Rio radar.
Jordan’s hopes of qualifying for this summer’s event fall on sisters Sewar and Taima Abu Yaman, Zaid Assaf and Zeyad Aziz, who will represent Jordan in the West Asian Championships taking place from April 12-18.
Ten countries will be taking part including Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Yemen and UAE. According to the championship rules, the winning male and female will qualify to the Games, in addition to the 20 athletes from Asia already qualified.
