The high jumper is determined to cap his 2023 season with another Asiad title.
HANGZHOU: Three-time high jump world champion Mutaz Essa Barshim compared the Asian Games to the Olympics today after skipping the season-ending Diamond League event at Eugene to be in Hangzhou.
“For me, the Asian Games are important. You see these vibes, it’s like our Olympics before the Olympics,” he said after needing only a single jump of 2.19m to lead the field into today’s gold-medal showdown.“For me, it was too much travel and I am a different high jumper now. I have three Diamond trophies. Adding a fourth would have been great, but it’s not my top priority at the moment so I decided to skip that.
Along with rallying, Al-Attiyah is an accomplished skeet shooter and won men’s team silver and individual bronze in Hangzhou.
