ALGERIA, Saturday, July 8, 2023 (WAFA) - The Palestinian swimming team raised the Palestinian medal tally in the Arab Sports Games hosted by Algeria to six medals, including four gold after the swimmers Yazan al-Bawab won the 50-meter gold in freestyle swimming and Valerie Tarazi won two silver medals in the 50-meter butterfly and 100-meter breaststroke competitions.

Last Wednesday, Bawab and Tarazi won three gold medals for Palestine in the swimming competition, the first for Palestine in its history in participation in the Arab swimming tournaments, which came as a surprise to the teams and players participating in the tournament.

Tarazi won Palestine's first gold medal in the 50-meter breaststroke competition, and the second gold medal after winning the 100-meter backstroke, while Bawab won the gold medal by winning the 100-meter race in backstroke.
