Dubai municipality has dished out US$762,94 in gold to reward contestants in a weight-loss challenge to fight obesity.
“Your Weight in Gold” campaign promised one gram of gold for each kilogram shed, provided the contestants lost at least two kilos by August 16, when the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan ended. Ahmad al-Sheikh, a 27-year-old Syrian architect, claimed the top prize of 63 grams of gold after losing 26 kilos. Sheikh, who weighed 146.7 kilos at the start of the competition, was one of 2,648 winners who together received 16.82 kilos of gold last Thursday.
