The Qatar Gymnastics Federation President Ali Ahmed Al Hitmi will be contesting for one of the three vice-president posts at the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) Elections in October, 2021.
The election will be held during the 83rd FIG Congress in Antalya (Turkey).
Al Hitmi is currently one of the members on the FIG Executive Committee.
“I’m indebted to the Qatar Olympic Committee and I thank all my friends and colleagues who have supported me,” said Al Hitmi on QGF social media post.
The international body, headed by Japan’s Morinari Watanabe, will also elect seven EC and 21 Council members (by continental representation).
“It’s a privilege to represent Qatar at the FIG,” added Al Hitmi.
Under Al Hitmi’s chairmanship, Doha is currently hosting the 13th FIG Artistic Gymnastics Apparatus World Cup at the Aspire Dome.
“I thank the Qatar Olympic Committee, Aspire Academy and other stakeholders for their unstinted support in hosting this year’s event,” said Al Hitmi.
This year’s competition is being held without fans due to the strict Covid19 protocols in place.
