Nada Zeidan
Een interessante dame, deze Nada. Ze werd aan me voorgesteld omdat ze de broer is van een zwemmer op Aspire en die is weer bevriend met een van mijn ex-atleten.
Ben benieuwd wat ze gaat doen.
Ze stond eerder ook op posters voor de Olympic bid als boogschutter.

DOHA Nada Zeidan, a world renowned name in rally driving, shooting, archery and taekwondo and the brand ambassador for Qatar’s 2016 Olympic bid is busy organising sports, yoga, aerobic and swimming classes for women to encourage them into sports activities.
The Jill of all trades told Qatar Tribune that special classes for women are being organised for women to help them prepare them for participating in sports. She said, “As a sports icon, it’s more of a responsibility than anything else to train women in sports both for relaxation and for competitive games. I am also visiting ladies clubs and lecturing to increase social awareness among them the women to keep them active and strong”.
The winner of three Middle East Rally Ladies Cup, Nada is also associated with several organisations like the Reach out to Asia (ROTA) and lectures at various institutions including Aspire to reach out to women to engage them in various fitness programmes Speaking of challenges she faces while making a mark in sports, she said, “Being a woman, I had to face challenges from my male counterparts.
Some could not accept the fact that a woman is their counterpart. Earlier, rally driving was a monopoly to the men and when I came they were threatened by my success. Many were even jealous and tried to put me down. All I did was to stay focused and determined.”
“I hope to channelise my effort to get women into sports in the right direction and teaming up with Aspire will help me do that very well”. Through lectures, workshops and different sporting activities, women will be encouraged to take part in sports and make our country proud, Nada said in her concluding words.
