Chen Weiqing told Abdi that the goal of the Olympic Games is to transcend the past, create history, and move towards the future together. "As your name implies ('Fayk' means 'transcendent' in Arabic), you are the first saudi and Gulf Arab athlete to participate in the Winter Olympics, arguably making history." Beijing will be the first city to host both the Summer And Winter Olympics, and will also set records. The Beijing Winter Olympics are held during the cold season, but you will receive the warmest welcome in China. ”
Abdi said that Chinese people are good friends of the Saudi people and are very proud and honored to represent Saudi athletes in the Beijing Winter Olympics. I will definitely work the field and add glory to the Beijing Winter Olympics with excellent performances.
