Saudi Olympics Winner Was Received With An Incredible Applause When He Landed Back In Jeddah

Saudi athlete Tarek Hamdi has landed in Jeddah to a hero’s welcome earlier this week after winning silver in the Men’s karate competition at Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

He was accompanied by Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Turki Al-Faisal, the Saudi Arabian  Olympic Committee President

On their arrival from the Japanese capital, the Saudi delegation were greeted with cheers and clouds of confetti to hail the 23-year-old’s historic achievement.

Hamdi’s silver was the Kingdom’s only medal of the Tokyo Olympics, but it could have been even more if it wasn’t for a penalty decision

The mission was received by Prince Saud bin Abdullah bin Jalawi, the designated governor of Jeddah, and the presence of Prince Abdullah bin Fahd bin Abdullah, Prince Khalid bin Sultan Al Abdullah Al-Faisal, Dr. Musharraf Al-Shehri, and members of the Olympic Committee’s board of directors
