GYŐRZÁMOLY: UAE’s rising jet ski star, Ali Al Ali, achieved an international milestone by winning silver in the Ski Junior 3.3 category at the Jet Ski World Championship held in Győrzámoly, Hungary. The 13-year-old Emirati rider earned 64 points over three rounds, placing second overall in the competitive international field.

Estonia’s Ander Hubert Lauri claimed the gold medal, while Hungary’s Lajos Komonyi took third place. France’s Maxime Arthebise narrowly missed the podium, finishing fourth.

Ali Al Ali expressed his pride in representing the UAE and raising the national flag at such a prestigious event. He also extended his gratitude to the UAE Marine Sports Federation for their continuous support and efforts in developing young sports talent in the country.

Organised under the International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA), the Hungary championship is part of the official world series circuit. It plays a key role in nurturing junior competitors and preparing them for the IJSBA World Finals in the United States, considered the most prestigious event in the sport.

This latest achievement further cements the UAE’s strong presence in global marine sports and underlines the nation’s commitment to supporting young athletes through structured training and international exposure.
