NAGOYA, Japan – Team Qatar continued its impressive medal-winning campaign in shooting at the 20th Asian Games, Aichi-Nagoya 2026, with Mohammed Al Rumaihi, Saeed Hamad Abu Sharib and Angelo Scalzone claiming silver in the men’s team trap competition.

The Qatari trio finished second with a total of 349 targets, adding another medal to Qatar’s shooting tally after the national team previously secured gold in both the men’s individual and team skeet events.

In the women’s team trap competition, Qatar’s Kholoud Hassan Al Khalaf, Ray Bassil and Meitha Hamad Al Binali finished fourth with 324 targets, just one target behind Kuwait, which secured bronze with 325.

In the men’s individual trap final, Saeed Hamad Abu Sharib finished sixth. Kuwait’s Khaled Al Mudhaf won gold, Chinese Taipei’s Yang Kun-Pi took silver, while China’s Qi Ying claimed bronze.

Dr. Mishaal Al Nasr, President of the Qatar Shooting and Archery Association, expressed his delight at Qatar’s medal-winning performance, emphasizing the high level maintained by the national shooting team throughout the Games.

“We congratulate our champions Mohammed Al Rumaihi, Saeed Hamad Abu Sharib and Angelo Scalzone on winning the silver medal after three days of strong competition and maintaining their position among the leading teams until the end,” Al Nasr said.

He added: “The trap silver comes on top of the individual and team skeet gold medals and confirms Qatar shooting’s strong presence at these Games. It also reflects the tremendous efforts of our shooters and the technical and administrative teams to achieve the best possible results.”

Al Nasr also dedicated Qatar shooting’s achievements at the Games to His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar, and H.E. Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, President of the Qatar Olympic Committee, expressing his appreciation for their continued support of Qatari sport and athletes.

“This support motivates us to continue working, achieve further success and raise Qatar’s flag at future championships and competitions,” he said.

Mohammed Al Rumaihi expressed his delight after helping Qatar secure the team trap medal, describing the competition as highly demanding from the outset.

“We are delighted to win the silver medal and add another medal to Team Qatar’s tally at the Games. The competition was strong from the first day, and we maintained our focus throughout the rounds to achieve the best possible result. Thankfully, we managed to finish the competition on the podium,” Al Rumaihi said.

Saeed Hamad Abu Sharib also praised the collective effort that earned Qatar a place on the podium. “We are happy with this medal. The competition was strong and required us to maintain a consistent level and a high degree of concentration throughout the three days. Each of us was determined to give his best, and in the end we succeeded in winning the silver medal,” Abu Sharib said.

Qatar’s shooting team had already made a strong impact at Aichi-Nagoya 2026, with Rashid Saleh Al Athba winning individual skeet gold and partnering Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah and Ali Ahmed Al Ishaq to secure team skeet gold.
