Social media praised Talha Talib for participating in the Tokyo Olympics without proper facilities

Karachi: After 44 years, Pakistan participated in the weightlifting competition of the Tokyo Olympics. Talha Talib represented the country on the global stage.

Talha’s performance in the competition gave Pakistan hope that Pakistan may win the first heavy medal in the Olympics, but the athlete’s performance was not satisfactory.

Talha, who participated in the men’s 67 kg weightlifting competition, once took the lead in the competition, and was finally surpassed by athletes from China, Colombia and Italy.

The 21-year-old weightlifter participated in the competition without a coach, but he proved his courage.

Talha, a gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games, finished fifth in the competition. Although he failed to win a medal, his outstanding performance has been praised all over the country.

Many people support Talha on Twitter because he is so close to winning the gold medal in the Olympics.

Here are some reactions:

Yasir pointed out how far Talha went after he almost missed the medal.

Reporter Shiraz wanted to know what Talha could do if he had the right facilities.

PTI Senator Faisal Javed also applauded Talha’s bravery and urged the Pakistan Sports Commission to wake up.

Mahira Khan even admitted that athletes make Pakistan “very proud”

Former Pakistani cricket team captain Azal Ali said that if Pakistan invests “more time and money” on athletes, then “they can do miracles.”

Cricket player Mohammad Hafeez (Mohammad Hafeez) called for accountability to people and federations that do not provide facilities for players.

Analyst Abid Qaiyum Suleri pointed out that Talha may not have won a medal, but “won millions of preliminaries.”
