Pakistan’s fastest woman sprinter Tameen Khan has vowed to make the country proud by competing at the international level, including the Olympics.
She had recently won the 100-meter race during the National Athletics Championship by completing the race in 11.86 seconds.
In a media interview, she said her target is to participate in the Olympics, Asian Games, Athletics, and South Asian Games and perform well for Pakistan.
“I worked really hard for this over the past couple of years. During the race, I defeated opponents who have been competing for the past 10 years,” the athlete told in an exclusive interview on Sunday.
“I have been selected for international events as well. My target is to participate in the Olympics, Asian Games, Asian Athletics, and South Asian Games and perform well for my country,” the Peshawar-born athlete added.
Bearing in mind the lack of proper training facilities in Pakistan, Tameen hoped that she will be sent abroad in order to fine-tune her skills.
“I’m hopeful that after this performance I will be sent abroad for better training. Athletes need exposure and better facilities,” she said.
