In total, and reflecting that development, the team garnered 8 medals, including 3 golds, 2 silvers, and 3 bronzes, amidst intentions to increase the haul in upcoming competitions. The latest championship relied on prominent names, including Ahmed Basil, Ibrahim Al-Shamlouni, Mohammed Kamal, Yousef Al-Masri, Fadi Abdul Majeed, and others. The highlight of the events was the 100m and 200m races and the continuous golden preparations for that purpose.
At the end of October last year, "Al-Rai" published an exclusive report highlighting the difficult economic conditions the club is experiencing, with predictions at the time of significant progress for the talents and the possibility of benefiting from them in the national teams, which has come to pass. However, the club's walls still suffer from the pain of a struggling financial treasury.
The Circle of Stardom
It is true that Al-Qadisiyah hoped for better results after achieving 7 medals, including one gold, 4 silvers, and 2 bronzes, which placed them in third place in the youth category. However, upon a quick reading of the club's ledger, its records hold many names that have entered the circle of stardom and have become well-known figures in the athletics community.
One cannot overlook the club's activity as one of the important constants in the sport and a fixed equation within "Al-Rai's" chronicle of the facts and events of the "Mother of Sports." It even refuses to be absent from the podium, relying on the Ghannam family, who specialize in athletics, most notably Abdul Aziz Ghannam, Abdul Rahim Ghannam, and a group of others who reflect the true picture of the data of achievements, along with what Abdul Hamid Samer and Karam Abu Saif provide in attempts to reach a distinguished finish.
Rimas Khadraj stood out remarkably with her superior ability to cover long distances with complete calm, becoming the winning card in Al-Qadisiyah's balance, in addition to the usual enthusiasm of Hala Al-Araj, Yara Hamouda, Najat Flayfel, and Sarah Tawfiq.
Al-Qadisiyah is credited for its bright light, intensive training, the club's experience in difficult tasks, and its insistence on achieving dreams. In this specific detail, the championship recorded a situation worthy of pause that carries connotations, as one of the young players suffered a health setback during the difficult relay race and fell on the track twice. However, he refused to withdraw and insisted directly on standing up, overcoming the issue, and succeeding in handing his teammate the baton of continuity in the relay. That is a step that shows a love for chasing dreams regardless of the level of fatigue, and a message that confirms the great lesson from the Al-Qadisiyah Club school.
