seen with his father and boxing legend Syed Hussain Shah
The Pakistan Judo
Federation (PJF) is likely to send Shah Hussain Shah to Iran and Spain for
training before he competes at the Rio Olympics in August 2016.
PJF says that Shah Hussain
qualified for the Rio Olympics in under-100kg category. International Judo
Federation (IJF), has confirmed that Shah has sealed a place for the Rio Olympics
under the continental quota. He is the first Pakistani judoka to ever qualify
for the Olympics.
Shah is our only hope [at
the Rio Olympics]. PJF is considering sending him to Iran, Spain or some other
country for training ahead of the Games. We will try our best to provide him
all necessary facilities to help him make a podium finish.
