Moroccan Olympic champion Soufiane El Bakkali has expressed profound gratitude to King Mohammed VI for his unwavering support following his remarkable performance at the 2024 Olympics. This victory has rejuvenated national spirit amid earlier setbacks, as other Moroccan athletes faced early exits and a low overall medal count.
During a recent reception at the royal palace in Tetouan, King Mohammed VI honored El Bakkali with the prestigious Ouissam Al Arch award. This accolade recognized his historic achievement in winning the gold medal in the 3000m steeplechase event in Paris.
El Bakkali highlighted that the award symbolizes the King's continuous encouragement, which fueled his determination to achieve further success for Morocco.

Reflecting on the King's message, El Bakkali noted it serves as a driving force to continue striving for excellence on the international stage. He remarked on the special significance of his Paris victory, achieved in front of the supportive Moroccan community in France, which bolstered his resolve throughout the competition.
