‘She’s the best son you’re ever going to have’: The mother pushing a UAE snowboarder towards the Olympics

Amenah Al Muhairi, an 18-year-old freestyle snowboarder from the United Arab Emirates, is making waves as one of the nation's top winter athletes. She has represented the UAE at multiple international competitions, including the Junior World Championships, Youth Olympic Games, and Asian Winter Games. Training for the 2030 Winter Olympics, Amenah credits her mother, Maya Al Muhairi, for instilling in her a passion for winter sports. Maya, who grew up skiing in Europe and learned from her father, a former ski instructor, passed down her love of adventure to her children. Despite living in Dubai, where winter sports are not traditionally practiced, Amenah trains at Ski Dubai, a man-made indoor ski resort, to pursue her Olympic dreams.
