Aspire athletes complete a memorable summer

Doha: Aspire Academy doors have remained open during summer, with familiar sounds of pounding feet on the track, squash balls bouncing off the wall and the pitter-patter of the table tennis ball echoing in the Aspire Dome as Aspire athletes trained.

For the Aspire graduates and student athletes across many sporting disciplines, after a short break, normal service of training and competition resumed at home in Qatar and abroad. In early August, student athletes returned to Aspire for training in sprints, jumps, fencing and squash. In summer times of punishing heat and humidity the coaches and athletes fully appreciated and put to good use the ultra modern cooling system of Aspire Dome.
