Dubai [UAE], September 16 (ANI/WAM): UAE National Team sprinter Maryam Karim won the gold medal in the 200-metre race at the 10th edition of the Arab Junior Athletics Championship (under 18), held in Taif, Saudi Arabia.

Major-General Dr. Muhammad Abdullah Al-Murr, President of the UAE Athletics Federation, participated in the medal ceremony alongside officials from the tournament's organising committee, which concluded this evening with the participation of 400 athletes from 18 countries.
