Qata's promising Moataz Issa victory received a wide media coverage by IAAF and other athletics press and media, for the new record he achieved during the Asian Juniors Championship held in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, where he achieved the gold medal with a result of 2.31 m, which is a tournament record, and the best number in the world for juniors in this year.

The age of Moataz Issa is 19 years and has achieved many titles in the Arab Gulf and Asia regions, and by God willing will to be one of international stars. He will participate in the next world juniors championship which will take place in the city of Moncton, Canada from July 19 to 25, 2010, as well as the Asian Games in Guangzhou in China. It is worth notice that his coach Stans Laf contributed to Muataz performance levels since year ago where he developed his result form  2.27 m, which he achieved in Sweden, into 2.31 m during the current Asian Championship for Juniors.

On the other hand, media praised the achievements of Qatar's Al-Qarni, who won two gold medals in the 800 m and 1500m under the leadership of coach (Jamae Aden). Al-Qarni's result is considered the best at juniors level this year. Al Mannai gold medal in (decathlon) was praised too. He is a student at the Academy for Sports Excellence, "Aspire". It is worth notice that QAAF has recently signed an agreement with Aspire to support talented athletes.

QAAF pays more attention on these promising stars in terms of providing the best coaches and training methods as well as involvement in many of the training camps and tournaments regionally and internationally, as this became evident on the results of our stars who claim day after day.
