The Saudi Athlete Who Won At The Olympics Is Already Worth More Than SAR 7 Million
Saudi karate athlete, Tariq Hamdi, has become a sensation countrywide after bringing home a medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
He is receiving support and praise from everyone in Saudi Arabia
In fact, the Ministry of Sports – and His Highness the President of the Olympic Committee, Prince Abdulaziz Al-Faisal – announced that he is receiving the award that had been set up for any Saudi participant bringing home a gold medal award of SAR 5 million to him.
The President of the Olympic Committee basically tweeted that Hamidi may have not been able to win the gold medal and got silver instead because of a penalty, he is a winner to all of us of the gold medal.
لأنه البطل في عيوننا جميعاً 🇸🇦🇸🇦
فسيتم تكريم بطلنا الأولمبي طارق حامدي بجائزة الميدالية الذهبية وقدرها (5 ملايين ريال) نظير تميزه وإبداعه وتمثيله المشرف للوطن أمام نجوم العالم
