Damascus-SANA
“This day was not normal in my life,” this is how promising Syrian table tennis player Hend Zata described her day after receiving a phone call from President Bashar al-Assad today.
The icon of the Tokyo Olympics, Hind, who made the event in the Olympics, being the youngest player to participate in it, today expressed her great joy at President al-Assad’s call with her, saying in a statement to SANA, “This day was not normal. Podiums in all Arab and international forums.
The promising player added, when President al-Assad told me, “I am proud of you,” I told him, “I could not make you happy in this Olympiad, but I promise you in the next Olympiad in 2024 to achieve a medal that will make the entire Syrian people happy.”
And she continued: The upcoming tournaments will be titled achievement, and we will not be satisfied with anything else.. We are able to do that, and we will reap medals for the Syrian sports coffers, raise our flag and play our national anthem in those forums.
The General Sports Federation had announced that President al-Assad made a phone call to the player Zaza earlier today and praised her will and high determination, expressing the Syrians' pride in her as a promising Syrian talent who raised the name of her country high.
