"I first went to the desert to hunt with my father at the end of the 1970s. At this time there were no shooting ranges in Kuwait. Anyone that wanted to shoot would go to the desert, and lots of us did." (menspassion-online.com, 01 Apr 2010; AlziadiQ8 Blog Plus 3 YouTube channel, 25 Nov 2020)

RIO EXPERIENCE
He won a bronze medal in the skeet event at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, while competing as an Independent Olympic Athlete. He competed at the Games wearing the jersey of English football club Arsenal, but was unaware of the team's nickname 'the Gunners'. "I don't know [about the nickname], I just bought it. It is a shirt my son gave me. He bought it for me and gave it to me for the Olympics Games and I very much like it." (bbc.co.uk, 14 Aug 2016; reuters.com, 13 Aug 2016; ONS, 13 Aug 2016)
