Fueling the Dream: BML Supports Himna’s Sprint to Success

Maldivian running star Aishath Himna Hassan has been awarded Bank of Maldives (BML) Sports Scholarship for 2024.

The scholarship aims to support athletes in achieving their full potential by providing fully funded opportunities to train and develop at recognized high-performance training centers worldwide.

Managed in collaboration with the Maldives Olympic Committee (MOC), the athlete selection process for the scholarship was carried out by MOC.

Himna will undergo a year-long training program at SprinTec Track Club in Jamaica, renowned for producing world-class sprinters.

Himna gained widespread recognition in 2022 when she shattered the Maldives women’s 100-meter record, previously held for 21 years by Samha Ahmed, during the Commonwealth Games.

Having broken multiple national records, Himna is widely regarded as one of the most promising athletes in the Maldives.
