In an electrifying talent showcase, QAS-supported athletes made waves at the recent World Skateboarding Tour event in Dubai. With remarkable performances and notable achievements, these athletes displayed the highest levels of skill and determination on the world stage.

Her remarkable journey to the final captivated audiences and solidified her position as one of the top contenders in skateboarding.

QAS-supported athletes Arisa Trew and Keiran Woolley showcased their prowess in the women's and men's Park skateboarding events.
