KUWAIT AND MISTER ROBERT KNOW HOW TO RECEIVE…
Let me tell you something, if one day I get married (you can stop laughing
now, it’s embarrassing…), I’ll ask the Man to organise my wedding for me.
Lights… Music… The atmosphere… The faces of the important people from
Kuwait passing in photos, on video all over the glass court, the white
walls, the four TV screens – two giant, tow smaller… A full house…
Colours, sounds, kids, mobile phones, movement, the light humidity coming
from the sea… A singer… Kids in costumes with Kuwait flags… Men in
traditional uniforms… Movement… A light wind… A kind of Magic…
And the Voice of Squash presenting the evening with a charming young lady…
And the presentation of the athletes… A few words from the Minister of
Labour and Work and Minister of Information, Mr Faisal Al-Haji,
representing the Crown Prince Sheikh Saad Abdullah Al-Sabah, from Sheikh
Jahad Jaber Al-Sabah, and some very emotional words from Sheikha Fadia
Saad Al-Sabah, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee…
And an amazing fireworks display to start the ceremony… and after the last
game…
Perfect timing… Superb, breathtaking, beautiful, outstanding display of
colours, sounds, variation of forms and depth…
Perfection.
And as the Master of Ceremonies Mr Robert Edwards said to open the game,
that would eventually be watched by 370 million viewers worldwide:
“We have the weather, we have the settings, we have the court … Enjoy your
squash…” |
