Dr. Razan Baker, a member of the board of directors at the Saudi Bowling Federation, said she was very happy and proud of the women’s significant progress in the championship. “Even though she joined the team not long ago, Amani was able to achieve (third place). We congratulate her and wish her more victories.”
