BORROWED SPEED SUIT
At the 2019 Asian Championships in Doha, Qatar, he competed in a borrowed speed suit that had originally been worn by US sprinter Justin Gatlin, who won gold in the 100m at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. He admits that he would welcome greater support from the Lebanese government. "Other governments help their athletes with support and bring in professional coaches or athletes to compete against. Education could also be so much better here. Sometimes I feel really disappointed. You feel like, 'Why am I doing this? I can't reach the elite level if I am still doing this'. But I love the sport. I love doing what I am doing now." (thenationalnews.com, 15 Jun 2021)
