Team Qatar claims 11 Medals at Arab Table Tennis Championship

CASABLANCA – Team Qatar continued to impress at the Arab Table Tennis Championship in Casablanca, Morocco, raising their total medal count to 11 after a successful run on the second-to-last day of the tournament.

The Qatari players added six medals in doubles events two gold and four silver to the five medals they had already won in team competitions earlier this week (1 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze).
