Sports Challenges in Iraq

Participants had the chance to try themselves in table football, table tennis, bench press, tire rolling and car pulling. The tasks did not only bring the joy of exercise to the soldiers but also helped strengthen the relationship between the two nations, in a more informal way than during service. Prizes were awarded to the best contestants by the commanders of the two contingents together. The whole-day sports event significantly contributed to the deepening of the relations between the two nations.
