Snowboarder wins UAE's first ever gold medal at Special Olympics World Winter Games
Two Emirati athletes entered the record books on Wednesday by winning the UAE's first medals at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Turin, Italy. Abdullah Al Nuaimi won a gold medal for snowboarding and Mina Al Mazrouei secured bronze, also for snowboarding. The UAE has sent 11 athletes with intellectual disabilities to the week-long inclusive international event that uses sport as a platform to break barriers and shatter preconceived notions about people with special needs. Posting celebratory video footage and photos on social media, the UAE team congratulated the medallists and described the moment as one that encapsulated 'unity and sportsmanship'. The team also expressed pride in the hard work, consistency and effort it took to qualify for the Games. 'We are incredibly proud of Abdulla Al Nuaimi and Meena Al Mazrouei's outstanding performances at this year's Special Olympics World Winter Games,' Talal Al Hashemi, national director of Special Olympics UAE, said. 'These medals are a testament to their perseverance and the consistent support of our wise leadership for people of determination. Their success represents the spirit and values of the UAE, and we are confident they will continue to achieve great things as the Games progress.' The two medals are the first won by any team from the Middle East and North Africa region in the Games, which end on March 15, the Special Olympics UAE team said. Mr Al Nuaimi, 23, represents the Ras Al Khaimah Club for People of Determination and Ms Al Mazrouei, 23, is from the Abu Dhabi Club for People of Determination. The UAE team is competing in six disciplines: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, Alpine skiing, snowboarding, figure skating and short-track speedskating. This is the first time the UAE has sent a team to compete in the Games. In total, 1,500 athletes competing represent 102 delegations. Local clubs for people with special help support families with children who have intellectual disabilities by providing consistent support, access to training and equipment. The UAE athletes, many of whom are competing in a major sporting event for the first time, have been training for more than a year on ski slopes, snow parks and skating rinks in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. They were selected from more than 70 athletes from across the country who took part in trials over six months between 2023 and 2024. Their participation is part of the UAE's aim to develop a winter sport culture for families with children with disabilities with the best training facilities available for athletes. The country's Special Olympics sports federation has said will continue to work with athletes with disabilities so they can access opportunities in all sports and are able to obtain technical expertise from world-class coaches.

UAE: New rules for child support, alimony proposed to prevent 'undue delays'
To address the issue of unpaid alimony and child support, a new regulation that entitles third parties to issue the deserved payments will be raised to the UAE Cabinet for approval. If the regulation is enacted, the amount can be later reclaimed from the divorced husband, said the Minister of Justice Abdullah Al Nuaimi. The new procedure seeks to ensure that children and custodial parents receive financial support without undue delays caused by administrative and legal challenges. The minister was addressing concerns by a member of the Federal National Council over the recurring difficulties individuals face in enforcing court-ordered alimony and child custody rulings. 'What measures are being taken to ensure the timely execution of these judgements without unnecessary delays?' asked Mariam bin Thaniya. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. Minister Al Nuaimi said family law cases, particularly those concerning alimony, custody, and visitation rights, 'are among the most complex to enforce due to their sensitive nature'. 'Conflicts between spouses often escalate to the point where compliance with court rulings becomes contentious, adding further strain to affected families, especially children.' While non-compliance with family court rulings is not widespread, the minister said certain cases present challenges at both the federal and local levels. The minister explained that the proposed mechanism is derived from Federal Law No. 41 of 2024 personal affairs, which grants the Cabinet the authority to collaborate with federal and local entities to facilitate the enforcement of alimony rulings. 'Under this system, government agencies or private legal entities will be permitted to disburse alimony payments to beneficiaries and subsequently recover the amounts from the obligated party. This framework aims to expedite the process and reduce the financial strain on custodial parents awaiting payments.' The FNC member further stressed the pressing need for immediate financial support for children awaiting alimony payments. She suggested establishing a dedicated fund within courts to provide temporary assistance to affected children until their rightful payments are implemented. 'This would prevent financial disruptions that could impact the well-being and basic needs of the child, such as food, shelter, clothing, and education,' she said. With the proposed new mechanism for alimony enforcement currently under review, authorities are working with relevant stakeholders to raise it to the Cabinet, said minister Al Nuaimi. The Cabinet will decide how the procedure will be implemented and by whom.
