After joining Al Jazeera last month, Robin Adams just began anchoring sports bulletins on the channel. ''It has - for a long time - been my dream to work for Al Jazeera,'' says Robin Adams after presenting his first sports bulletin for Al Jazeera. ''The network has quickly positioned itself as the world's news leader. I'm genuinely thrilled to be able to make a contribution to that reputation - and live my dream at the same time.''


''Robin's enthusiasm for sport is evident in everything he does and it's a pleasure to have someone with such passion joining our presenting team,'' says James Pratt, executive producer for sports at Al Jazeera. ''His knowledge and experience of sport throughout the continent of Africa can only strengthen Al Jazeera's coverage in a region which has always been a priority.''
