100m sprinter Minahil and SOP athletics coach Nuzhat Rubab may be seen together in one of the films that were made available to the media. They are enthusiastic about the Games and think they will bring honour to the nation.
Working with SOP since 1997 is Rubab. She stated that Minahil would also participate in the long jump and was a native of Lahore. Minahil came to us when she was just eight years old and did so via our young athletes’ initiative, according to Rubab.
She has received years of instruction from us, camps from us, and the diligent effort of several trainers. We are expecting to put up excellent performances.
Minahil was also questioned by Nuzhat how she felt about competing in the Games.
Minahil declared, “I feel fantastic.”I never thought I’d make it this far and get to represent the country. I want to represent Pakistan well here and make my nation proud. I’m overjoyed to be here.
As she continued to address other athletes and aspiring sprinters, Minahil’s face was beaming with joy as she watched and grinned widely.
“Join me while I train. I simply want to remind them to work hard so they may one day compete in the 100-meter event and bring home awards. They must work hard to prepare so that they may attend and compete in the Games, said Minahil.
All of the athletes, according to Nuzhat, advanced to this point via perseverance and hard effort.
Dr. Mohammad Faisal, the ambassador of Pakistan to Germany, welcomed the group with a reception on June 16 before the Games began, saying that it had been an honour for him and his team to do so. He said, “The whole nation is thrilled to watch them engage on the world stage.
