The Sultanate of Oman takes immense pride in bestowing 196 gold, silver and bronze medals, as these achievements signify a source of great pride within the sports realm.
Furthermore, Al Rowas highlighted the ministry's efforts in 2022 to enhance athlete preparation systems. The current vision aims to bolster the endeavours of sports federations and committees by expanding the base of sports practice under their supervision. This initiative is carried out through the 'Athletes Preparation Centres' support programme and the 'Support and Care for Athletes: Promising' programme, which has admitted a number of Omani athletes who fulfilled the admission requirements and possessed the scientific and physical indicators necessary to attain remarkable success at continental and international levels.
In pursuit of a comprehensive database encompassing Omani athletes, which can be utilised to leverage research and scientific advancements in developing athletes' physiological and physical capabilities, an electronic programme to follow up on sports performance' is currently being designed and implemented. The programme's launch is expected in June, providing an extensive record for all athletes in the Sultanate of Oman and delivering crucial data to technical personnel across various sports disciplines. Al Rowas added that this electronic programme will be accessible to all sports organisations, including sports federations, committees, public and private schools and academies.
