Emirati powerboat racer Ahmad Al Fahim takes on Dubai T100

Dubai: Victory Team powerboat racer Ahmad Al Fahim is set to compete in his third Dubai T100 Triathlon on Sunday November 15, tackling the full 100km distance for the second consecutive year.

The challenge features a 2km swim, an 80km cycling course and an 18km run, putting Al Fahim through the same test as the world's leading professional athletes.

Al Fahim became part of Dubai's Victory Team in 2018, securing victories in the F4 class before making his F1H2O World Championship debut in 2023. His triathlon journey began in 2015, with qualification for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship following in 2017. He also represented the UAE at the 2018 Asian Games.

Outside of competition, Al Fahim works as Head of Strategy and Talent Development at Dubai Sports Council.

He said: “I’m really excited to take part in Dubai T100 for the third time, especially as the race is held here in Dubai and gives us the opportunity to compete alongside athletes from around the world.

“For me, taking part is not just about achieving a result. It is about continuing to challenge myself and improve my performance. Most importantly, it is an opportunity to represent the UAE with pride at a major international sporting event.”
