KUWAIT: Zain Group’s Vice Chairman, Bader Nasser Al Kharafi, honored Kuwaiti Jet Ski champion Yousef Al Abdulrazzaq, who was recently registered in the Guinness World Records for achieving the World Championship title three times.

The achievement, the first of its kind for any Jet Ski racer, was listed under the State of Kuwait’s name. Zain has been Yousef Al Abdulrazzaq’s main sponsor over the past 10 years.

The Union International Motonautique (UIM), the world’s governing body for all Power boating activities, officially declared Al Abdulrazzaq a Guinness World Record holder by attaining the International Jet Sports Boating Association’s (IJSBA) World Championship title three times. The Kuwaiti champion proudly attained the three titles during 2013, 2015, and 2016.

Al Kharafi, expressed his admiration in this national achievement that adds to Kuwait’s international accolades: “We are extremely proud of supporting Kuwaiti champions in international arenas; what Yousef Al Abdulrazzaq achieved is a pride for all the people of Kuwait”.

Al Kharafi added: “Zain considers the support of Kuwaiti sports and athletes a priority within our corporate sustainability strategies. Our support to Kuwaiti champion Yousef Al Abdulrazzaq during the past 10 years has proven to be fruitful, resulting in this historic achievement”.

Zain’s role not only concentrates on economic and business activities, but also extends to contribute significantly in various areas within the Kuwaiti society, including sports.

The company has endless confidence in the competencies of Kuwaiti athletes and their capabilities in excelling in different fields, on both regional and international levels.

It is worth noting that Al Abdulrazzaq represented Kuwait throughout the past years in several local and international competitions, winning a number of prominent titles, which encouraged Zain to continue supporting him. Most recently, Al Abdulrazzaq competed against professionals from across the globe, and achieved the first place titles in Runabout GP1 and Ski Ladies categories in late 2016.
