Kamal Bahamdan is a showjumping rider from Saudi Arabia, watch Kamal Bahamdan and Noblesse in Shanghai
Kamal Bahamdan is as passionate now about horses as he was as a child. Notwithstanding his recent marriage and his many business commitments, riding and horses are as essential to him as the air he breathes.
Born in Riyadh on 12 February 1971, Kamal began riding at the age of seven. His father, a successful Riyadh financier, encouraged his son’s interest, and his outstanding talent and commitment were soon evident. ‘If that’s what you want to do, do it well,’ advised his father. Kamal pursued his studies with equal determination, and admits he has an affinity with figures and finance. After high school in Riyadh, he went to Boston University to study Manufacturing Engineering. He took with him his own horses and graduated in 1994.?As a teenager Kamal competed in – and won – local show jumping events, where he soon ran across his contemporaries, Kaled Al Eid and Ramzy Al Duhami. A lifelong bond was formed, one which forms the backbone of the Saudi Equestrian team.
While studying in the USA, Kamal took part in the East Coast Circuit. It was during this time that he came to the attention of Ziyad Abduljawad, now the Managing Director of Saudi Equestrian. Ziyad, who was then also riding competitively, was on the lookout for top-class riders for the team. A phone call was made and Kamal took the next plane to California to meet him. His place in the team was assured.
After leaving the US Kamal moved his horses to Europe. He now keeps them and trains at Valkenswaard in Holland.
Kamal has trained with some of the greatest names in equestrian sport: Anne Kurinski, Bernie Traurig, Nelson Pessoa, Paul Schockemöhle and, most recently, with Jan Tops in Holland, as well as with Saudi Equestrian team trainer Stanny Van Paesschen. He has competed in four Olympic Games, three World Championships and three Pan Arab Games, in the latter winning four team gold medals and one individual gold.
Kamal’s sporting life has taken him around world, training and competing, as has his life as an entrepreneur. In 2009 he founded the investment company Safanad, and is currently CEO of the Bahamdan Group, a global investments conglomorate. Since April 2010, he has taken a sabbatical from business to concentrate on training for the London 2012 Olympic Games, and in December 2011 notably helped the team to the gold medal at the Arab Games in Doha, and the following week to qualification for the London Olympics. He is deeply patriotic and all hopes of winning are focused on his country and his team, not from egoism and vainglory.
To cope with the demands of business and the pressures of competing – as well spending precious time with his wife and family and pursuing other sports dear to his heart – means Kamal has to be supremely well organized and maximize his time efficiently. His brain and body are in harmony, his schedule itemised to the last second, and his focus strong. He has a good grasp of the psychology of winning and understands well the relationship between discipline, motivation and success, both in business and in sport. “Success is about fulfillment,” he says. “It’s all about achieving personal goals, in sport or life in general… one is only successful if able to fulfill one’s personal goals while finding a fine balance in all other important aspects of life, which is a goal in itself.”
But for Bahamdan, a day when he is not in the saddle, even for the shortest time, is somehow incomplete.
