Around the Sharks organization, he’s known for his strikeouts and blinding speed.
But there is more to Mokhlad al-Ghanimi than meets the eye.
“I just want to be safe,” he says in an article at Ale-Kuriren.
In a story featured in Ale-Kuriren, al-Ghanimi tells the story on how he had to leave his native Iraq and his struggle to stay in Sweden. He talks about his athletic upbringing, his father who got him into swimming and his future.
I Göteborg Hajarnas förening är han mest känd för sina strikeouts och blixtrande snabbhet.
Men Mokhlad al-Ghanimi är mer än så.
“Jag vill bara leva ett säkert liv”, säger han till Ale-Kuriren.
I en artikel i Ale-Kuriren berättar al-Ghanimi historien om hur han var tvungen att lämna sitt hemland Irak och om hans kamp för att få stanna i Sverige. Han pratar om hans idrottande familj, och ödet som förde honom till Göteborg och Hajarna.
Al-Ghanimi learned in Sweden that winning is better than losing.
Lastly, the Hajarna.se editorial staff (there’s actually three of us) are proud to have al-Ghanimi in the organization and are happy that you feel safe here.
Come and see ‘Momo’ in action on Sunday as Hajarna take on the Karlskoga Bats, first pitch is at 12.00 at Shark Park.
