Egypt has delivered a solid performance in the opening round of the Doha International Equestrian Championship, with riders securing several podium finishes across multiple height categories.
On the opening day, the 130 cm class saw a notable display of depth, with Mohamed El-Shenawy securing a distinguished second-place finish.
He was closely followed by teammate Abdallah El-Haitham in third, while Nour Hazem and Ahmed Ragab further solidified the national standing by placing fifth and sixth, respectively.
The delegation’s success extended into the specialized height categories, where Egyptian riders claimed top honors.
