The national squad collected <strong>10 gold, six silver, and 10 bronze medals<\/strong>, with victories spanning boys\u2019, girls\u2019, men&#8217;s, and women\u2019s events. Bahrain also recorded more gold medals than any other participating nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the tournament\u2019s biggest moments came in the senior men\u2019s team final. Bahrain fought back from <strong>2-0 down to defeat hosts Jordan 3-2<\/strong>, successfully defending the West Asian team title won two years earlier. The future also looked bright, with both Under-13 singles finals becoming all-Bahraini showdowns, guaranteeing gold and silver in the boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 competitions. Bahrain sent 26 players to compete across team, singles, and doubles events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From rising youngsters to experienced senior players, Bahrain\u2019s record medal haul is another reason for the Kingdom to stand proud of its athletes and the growing strength of Bahraini sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does it look like when Bahrain brings its A-game to the table?
