Shaikh Juma was delighted with his achievement and thanked His Highness the President Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and Shaikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, for the strong support they have been providing for sports and sportsmen in the country.
“The competition was tough, but I have been focused and determined to do well for my nation. I hope the others would follow in my footsteps to add more medals to the UAE delegation,” the champion said.
