In this context, Program Director Muhammad Taqi says that due to lack of ground in this area, only indoor sports and fencing can be developed and it is encouraging for boys and girls to take interest in fencing here. After the two-day talent hunt program, the boys and girls teams of Kalash will be selected and they will participate in the upcoming Sindh coaching camp at Karachi.
Fencing is an Olympic sport and is not only gaining popularity in Pakistan, but it is also receiving attention from the grassroots level to the national level.This is the reason why our boys and girls fencers are participating in international level competitions and winning medals too. The government should help the federations and athletes to realize our dream of winning medals at the Olympics by coming up with a coordinated strategy.
