The meetings, held at the NOC’s headquarters in Dubai, were attended by Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hashr Al Maktoum, President of the UAE Shooting Federation; Mohammed Nasser bin Khammas, President of the Emirates Weightlifting Federation; Mansoor Buosaiba, President of the UAE Cycling Federation; and Khaled Al Fahim, President of the UAE Triathlon Federation.
During their meetings, representatives of the sports federations talked about their overall and special preparations for the Olympic Games, including internal and external training camps. They discussed their efforts, technical plans, preparations and journey towards the Paris 2024 Olympics while reviewing their upcoming participation in various events.
On the sidelines of the meeting, Sheikh Rashid was briefed by the NOC’s Technical and Sports Affairs Management about the preparations of the equestrian and judo teams.
