Developing a culture of sport
This team was designed to inspire and further develop a culture of sport for the people of the Kingdom through giving Bahrain youth access to the world’s best athletes. The 13 pursue excellence on the biggest stage but return to Bahrain each year to work with the youth, schools and sports clubs to ensure that culture of success was passed on to future Bahrain sports stars.
Endurance as a way of life
The long-term aim is for this team to be spearheaded by young Bahrainis, the beneficiaries of exposure to these world-class athletes. They will lead the Gulf region and their Kingdom into the future within the sport of triathlon, which Bahrain has made its own and in which it continues to be impactful year on year.
