Asian Games Performance

[edit]

Saudi Arabia's delegation received backlash from Human Rights Watch after no woman made it to their roster of athletes. However, they were able to send 199 athletes to the Games.[1]

Yousef Masrahi won gold in the men's 400 m, at a time of 44.46, an Asian Games record.[2] Abdullah Waleed Sharbatly then won the individual jumping title as Saudi Arabia claimed their second gold medal of the Games.[3] They then won their third gold medal courtesy of Sultan Abdulmajeed Al-Hebshi in the men's shot put.[4] Overall, Saudi Arabia finished 19th overall in the standings with three golds, three silvers, and one bronze.[5]
