With government backing, weightlifter Talha Talib can win many more medals, even at Olympics
Pakistan’s promising weightlifter Talha Talib a few days ago sprang a surprise when he pulled off snatch bronze in the Asian Championship in Uzbekistan to show to the world that the Gujranwala player can turn into a global hero in future.I have been following Talha for the last few years as a reporter and have found that he has been growing as a player consistently. He is consistently delivering at the international circuit. In Uzbekistan he managed a 148kg weight in snatch to pull off a bronze, a medal which came after decades at this level in Pakistan’s favour.
