And honestly, it’s no surprise why a rumor like this would pop up. Saudi Arabia has become such a welcoming home for international athletes, who are constantly raving about the incredible lifestyle the Kingdom has to offer. From top-notch facilities to the amazing hospitality, it’s no wonder athletes are calling Saudi Arabia their home.

So, while Duran’s staying put in Riyadh, it’s clear that Saudi is all about embracing talent from all over the world.
