Tokyo medals will be a new starting point: QOC President

Doha: The President of the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC), H E Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani stressed that Qatar’s historic achievement of winning two gold medals and a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Games was the result of the great support of the Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to Qatari sport. 

In an interview with local media, Sheikh Joaan said Qatar’s performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics was the best in the history of Qatar sports, lauding the gradual increase in the tally of medals and the progress in overall ranking.  The QOC President underlined that the three medals won by Team Qatar in Tokyo will serve as a springboard for Qatari sport. He also confirmed that the QOC will now look beyond Tokyo 2020 and evaluate Qatar’s participation on both technical and administrative levels to maintain its dominance in future tournaments.
