Pakistan’s sailing team delivered an impressive performance at the 31st Al Bareh Sailing Regatta in Bahrain, securing gold and bronze medals in a highly competitive event.
Muzammil Hassan led the charge by winning the gold medal in the ILCA 7 class—formerly known as the Laser Standard—which is recognized as one of the most challenging Olympic sailing categories. His consistent performances and strategic brilliance allowed him to outpace seasoned rivals and claim the top spot on the podium.
Adding to the team’s success, Hamza Ejaz earned a bronze medal in the same category, capping off a memorable campaign for the national contingent.
Pakistan’s young talent also demonstrated significant promise. In the Optimist class, designed for sailors under 15, Muhammad Suleman narrowly missed out on a podium finish, securing fourth place. Competing against a strong international lineup, Suleman impressed observers with his composure and skill under pressure.
Meanwhile, in the ILCA 4 category, another emerging sailor, Muzammil Hussain, delivered a commendable performance to finish sixth.
Both Suleman and Hussain are participants in Pakistan’s youth development program, which is dedicated to nurturing future Olympians and elite-level competitors.
