Shah Hussain Shah Wins First Medal For Pakistan In CWG 2022.

BIRMINGHAM -- After a long wait, Pakistan won its first medal in the Commonwealth Games 2022 on Wednesday, when Shah Hussain Shah won a bronze medal in judo after defeating South African Thomas-Laszlo Breytenbach in Men's -90 Kg event.

Shah Hussain Shah played against Australia's Harrison Cassar in the quarterfinals, and again he lost after an Ippon in the bronze-medal bout. It should be mentioned here that Shah has now won a medal at the Commonwealth Games for the second time as he had won the silver medal in the 2014 competitions in Glasgow. The 20-year-old, son of Olympic bronze medalist boxer Hussain Shah, has also won two Gold medals for Pakistan in South Asian Games.

Nasir Iqbal and Faiza Zafar secured a win in their Mixed Doubles squash event of the Commonwealth Games. Nasir and Faiza beat Sri Lanka's Sinaly Chanithma and Wakeel Shamil to advance to the round of 16. After a competitive first set, which ended 11-10, the Iqbal-Faiza duo thrashed Sri Lankans in the second set by 11-5, winning the clash in straight sets. Unfortunately, another Pakistani Mixed Doubles duo, Amna Fayyaz and Tayyab Aslam, lost their match against Meagan Best and Cumberbatch Khamal after a good performance. The Barbados duo won the match by 6-11 and 6-11 in straight sets.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's Jehanara Nabi, who took part in Women's 400m Freestyle, clocked 4:36.87, which unfortunately couldn't help her...
