Abu Dhabi Figure Skating Team reclaimed their Desert Open title with a run-away victory at the Zayed Sports City ice-skating rink on Monday.
Teams from Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain were joined by touring teams from Qatar and Kazakhstan. The event featured skaters of all ages, including children and adults, and the judges looked specifically at technical, artistic spotlight and footwork programmes.
