N.O.R.F Posted December 6, 2006 Weldone to them. on a side note,,,,,,,,,,,,, Qataris flock to watch 'barely dressed' female athletes By Barbara Bibbo', Correspondent Doha: Qatari spectators flocked to watch female athletes competing in the 15th Asian Games, despite a call by a prominent Islamic scholar to stay away from women's matches. Qatar, the first Arab country to host the Games, has a conservative society unaccustomed to hosting competitions where scantily-clad sportswomen compete. The novelty has attracted hundreds of spectators comprising many Qatari nationals, prompting Islamic scholar Yousuf Al Qaradawi to immediately issue some general guidelines. "Islam encourages everybody to practice sports and maintain physical fitness," said the imam addressing worshippers at the Omar Bin Al Khattab mosque on Friday. "However, while Islam does not prohibit women taking part in sports such events should be held in places where men cannot see them and the matches should not be telecast in a way that allows men to see the sportswomen," he was quoted as saying by local daily Gulf Times. The call remained unheeded as men of all nationalities flocked to Sports City where teams of women fought for a medal in the beach volleyball competition. Lisa and Lida Agasi from Iraq, the only Arab country competing in the discipline with a female team, made headlines by donning tight shorts and tops. "It is the first time the majority of Qatari and expatriate men, especially from conservative Muslim countries, have had the chance to watch women sweating in a sports competition, let alone watching women who are barely dressed. Their curiosity is obvious," said an official at the Doha Asian Games Organising Committee. Qataris who came to watch the volleyball matches were too shy to bring their wives along, an agency reported. "We don't see this a lot in Qatar... I think most people think it is outrageous. But we accept it because it is important for our country," Salim Al Nabit, a Qatari spectator told AP. While Al Nabit watched the volleyball under sufferance to show that Qatar accepts others' ways and views, his country's women made history by winning the country's first two medals. http://www.gulfnews.com/region/Qatar/10087431.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElPunto Posted December 6, 2006 ^These Gulf Arabs can be rather ridiculous - imagine groups of 'Muslims' flocking to beach volleyball to "have had the chance to watch women sweating in a sports competition etc". It's just hilarious - it's almost like they're imprisoned when surely they can obtain porn etc or go over to Dubai etc. Xoolo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Som@li Posted December 6, 2006 Doha • There was plenty to cheer about for the home fans as Qatar yesterday picked up three medals — one each in bowling, shooting and chess — on the fourth day of the 15th Asian Games. The bowling pair of Saeed Al Hajri and Abdulla Al Qatan did Qatar proud by bagging a silver medal in the men’s doubles event at the Qatar Bowling Centre (QBC). After overcoming a sluggish start, the Qatari duo managed a tally of 2,782 points to emerge second-best. Qatar won a bronze through their women’s shooting team — a trio comprising Amal Mahmud, Anisa Jama and Samsam Jama — and a bronze when Qatar’s Chen Zou finished the women’s rapid chess event in third spot at Al Dana Club. India’s chess Grandmaster Humpy Koneru picked up the gold while Dao Thien Hai of Vietnam walked away with the silver medal. Qatar’s Al Hajri and Al Qatan finished behind Saudi Arabian brothers Hassan Al Alshaikh and Bader Al Alshaikh, who created history on way to their gold medal with a tally of 2,821. It was Saudi Arabia’s first-ever Asian Games gold. Jamal Ali Mohammad and Nayef Eqab Al Abdala, from the United Arab Emirates, finished as the joint silver medallists. “This victory is for the entire nation. This victory is for the people of Qatar and I am proud of our performance today,” a jubilant Al Hajri said after yesterday’s proceedings at QBC. In what could be termed a remarkable show despite an obvious lack of experience at this level, Qatari women shooters Amal, Anisa and Samsam finished third-best in the 10m running shooting event at the state-of-the-art Lusail Shooting Range which is located on the outskirts of Doha. The shooting coach of the three girls, Yuriy Rodnov, a Kazakh, was a delighted individual at the medal awarding ceremony. He said: “Even though there were only three teams, it is the performance that matters. All three were at their top level. Amal improved her personal record with 43 points, so we were very satisfied with what they showed today.” Rodnov and Svetlana Rodnova came to Qatar in 2001 from their home country to coach the Qatari shooting squad. “We were sure that all the girls in the team would shoot well. Whether there is a reception is up to the Qatar Shooting Federation. I am just the coach.” The Asian Games, he said, was the “biggest goal” once they reached Qatar. The fact that the three women pulled it off on home soil makes things all the more sweet. Even with only three teams entered in the event, Rodnov refused to tarnish the bronze. The number of entries is hardly the fault of the Qatar team. The coach is optimistic of more medals coming on the range. “Our strongest medal contenders have not competed. There is Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah (who placed fourth in the Athens Olympics) and Masoud Hamad, who won the 2002 Asian Games and finished third in the test event in September (the Doha challenge).” Kazakhstan won yesterday’s event with 1,083 points while Vietnam received the silver medal with 1,064 points. Qatar’s points tally was an impressive 912. That figure was enough for the team to pick up the bronze medal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
