Who is Kariman Abuljadayel?
Kariman Abuljadayel was a contestant in the 100-meter sprint event in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, becoming the first Saudi woman athlete to compete in that category. In 2019, she and fellow athletes set up the Saudi Rowing Federation, now in the thick of preparations to compete in the 2024 Games in Paris. Apart from spending time on the water, Abuljadayel also serves as an adviser for the development of a world-class sports ecosystem in NEOM. Just recently, she gave an interview with Arab News' The Mayman Show.
Mishlah scout initiative explained
It involves adorning the bisht — a masculine cloak worn over an ankle-length tunic, known as a thobe, in the Arab region — with an array of scout badges from local, regional, and international events. The bisht holds significant cultural importance as the most traditional Saudi attire and also carries an air of prestige and is closely associated with royalty, opulence, and formal ceremonies.
