4 Emirati Brothers Making a Splash

The four brothers Obaid Al Jasmi (the 29-year-old captain of the UAE Swim Team), Saeed Al Jasmi, Bakhit Al Jasmi, and Faisal Al Jasmi the ‘all brothers’ team, all competed the 2010 Dubai World Swimming Championships today. Obaid, Saeed, Bakhit and Faisal they all represent the UAE in the 4x100m freestyle relay on the opening day of the Fina World Swimming Championships (25m) at Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Sports Complex in Dubai. In doing so, also they will enter the Guinness Book of Records as the quartet become the first set of brothers to compete together as a foursome in the Short Course Worlds. (proud)

Faisal: “The secret is the commitment. We love swimming and we have dedicated our lives to it.”

Obaid: “No, the secret is we challenge each other. It pushes us on to achieve our goals.”

Bakhit: “We have sibling rivalry, of course. We challenge ourselves every time. That is how we motivate ourselves. And not only swimming, also football, computer games. We are very competitive.”

Good Luck and well done ….
