A crowd of onlookers gasped as they craned their necks to look upwards at a young woman standing on a small platform dangling from the top of a very tall crane.
The bungee-jump was part of the sporting activities on display yesterday at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) as part of the Bahrain Sports Day – actually a three-day event running till February 12. Organised by the Bahrain Sports for All Association, the annual celebration of every conceivable sporting activity, Bahrain Sports Day has been approved as a national event by first deputy chairman of the Supreme Council of Sports, General Sports Authority chairman and president of the Bahrain Olympic Committee, Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
Across the kingdom, ministries, businesses and other organisations arranged sporting events for top-level management and employees alike to participate in.
