The Sports of 2nd Asian Beach Games 2010 : Beach Handball

BEACH HANDBALL

A relatively new beach sport, but one much loved in its original format, beach handball has followed in the footsteps of beach volleyball and beach soccer by taking handball to the sand. Played in teams of four, the game uses a rubber ball and a beach court smaller than the traditional handball playing arena.

Pakistan’s men’s team took home gold in Bali 2008 while the People’s Republic of China secured the Women’s gold.

Sanctioned by the International Handball Federation (IHF) and the Asian Handball Federation (AHF) the beach handball competition at Muscat 2010 will include both the men’s and women’s team tournaments.

AL HARTHY SUPPORTS MUSCAT 2010 TO ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST RESULTS

Muscat, OMAN – With just over 2 weeks remaining until the whole of Asia arrives in Oman to compete at the 2nd Asian Beach Games Muscat 2010, the promotions for the Games are gearing-up.

Most recently, the Games received a boost by Muscat 2010 Beach Crew Member – Omani racing driver Ahmad Al Harthy who displayed the Muscat 2010 logo on his car during the recent World Travel Market (WTM) held in London earlier this month.

With the personal motto of “Achieve the Highest Results” Al Harthy was pleased to represent the Games during the 4-day exhibition: "I am so proud to have been able to promote the Games in the UK, having the car at the WTM was such a great opportunity to exhibit it to the world".

Al Harthy, who achieved fourth place in the Pro-Am 1 class of the 2010 Porsche Carrera Cup GB Championship, joined forces with Muscat 2010 as a sport ambassador in October 2010.

MABGOC Director General Eng. Habib Macki congratulated Ahmad on his season and thanked him for his support of Muscat 2010 through branding the car with the Games logo.

“I would like to sincerely thank Ahmad for his support of Muscat 2010 by showcasing the Asian Beach Games during his time in London, and for taking his role as a Muscat 2010 Beach Crew member seriously. It is because of Ahmad’s dedication, focus and sportsmanship that he was chosen to represent Oman’s hosting of the 2nd Asian Beach Games, and we are proud to congratulate him on his success this season. Ahmad truly embodies the concept of the Beach Crew – the sporting heroes of Oman – by giving the youth of Asia a superior role model,” said Macki.

The Omani racer added, “My role in promoting the Games in the UK has been very exciting, and we hope to announce shortly other interesting events planned in Oman”
