Kuwaiti gymnastics delegation.

SEOUL, June 3: The Kuwaiti artistic gymnastics team is participating in the 18th Asian Junior Championships, taking place in South Korea from June 5 to 8.

Representing the team is rising talent Abdullah Behbehani, who continues to make strides on the international stage. Behbehani recently delivered strong performances at the West Asian Youth and Junior Championships in Amman, Jordan, and the Luxembourg International Open Artistic Gymnastics Championships—both held last May.

The Kuwaiti delegation departed for Seoul, led by team manager Khaled Al-Mazen. The traveling party also includes Ukrainian coach Vitaly Arsenyev, international referee Salah Askar, and athlete Abdullah Behbehani.

The Kuwait Gymnastics Federation extended its best wishes to Behbehani ahead of the tournament, noting the elevated level of competition at the Asian Championship compared to previous events. The federation, however, expressed full confidence in Behbehani’s dedication and potential to represent Kuwaiti gymnastics with pride.

“This championship offers a valuable opportunity for Abdullah to engage with some of Asia’s top gymnasts, test his skills under pressure, and continue his development,” the federation stated.

The participation in this continental championship is part of a broader, long-term strategy to prepare Behbehani for future international milestones, including the 2026 Youth Olympic Games in Senegal.
