Haider Ali achieved the medal at the Discus Thrower event where he reached an incredible 55.26m distance, which was a personal best and defeated Mykola Zhabnyak. Hopefully his win will not be the last gold medal we were Pakistan win in the future Olympic games and encourage public authorities to fund sports so more sportsmen can make us proud internationally!
