His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II congratulated Jordan’s male and female athletes on their historic achievement at the fourth edition of the Youth Olympic Games, held in Senegal’s capital, Dakar.
In a post on his official Instagram account, the Crown Prince shared a photo of Jordan’s medal-winning athletes, accompanying it with the message: “Congratulations to our nation and our Neshama champions on this achievement.”
The Jordanian delegation concluded its participation in the Games with a total of four medals: three gold and one silver. This marks Jordan’s largest medal haul in a single Olympic edition, at either the senior or youth level.
The three gold medals were won by members of the national taekwondo team, Abdullah Al-Zawahreh and Ahmad Al-Dahamsha, who claimed gold in the individual competitions before securing a third gold in the mixed team event alongside their teammates Zainab Bseileh and Layan Al-Rawashdeh.
Meanwhile, Huda Al-Weshah of Jordan’s national judo team won the silver medal.
