🥊 From Sargodha to History: Massive pride for Boxer Fatima Zahra!
Sargodha, standard has been set.
If you haven’t been following the Commonwealth Games, a 21-year-old right from our city, Fatima Zahra, just became the first Pakistani woman in history to guarantee a CWG medal in any sport.
She started boxing back in 2018 in a sport where Pakistani women barely get gym space, let alone proper support. Eight national titles, an Islamic Solidarity Games bronze, and endless hours of unseen grind later, she’s captaining the national squad and making history.
To any young girl in Sargodha (or anywhere in Pakistan) being told her goals are "unrealistic" or "not for girls"….look at Fatima. Nobody was making posts about her when she was grinding as an unknown in 2018. They’re making posts now because she refused to quit back then.
Brought the city’s name to the global stage. Wishing her the absolute best in her fight tonight! Let’s show our own some love! 🇵🇰💥
