Saadi Abbas: The karate champion Pakistan forgot
Saadi has won multiple medals for Pakistan at the international level
Saadi Abbas, Pakistan's renowned karate star, has been making waves on the international martial arts circuit for years. With a staggering collection of medals and accolades, Abbas has proven himself to be one of the country's most accomplished athletes.
However, despite his impressive achievements, Abbas can't help but feel a sense of frustration and disillusionment with the lack of support he receives from the government and private sector.
Abbas's grievances are not unfounded. Despite his impressive track record, he has struggled to secure even the most basic forms of support, including funding, training facilities and proper coaching.
As a result, Abbas has been forced to rely on his own resources and initiative to pursue his karate career. He has had to fund his own training and travel expenses, often dipping into his own pocket to cover the costs.
Despite these challenges, Abbas remains committed to his sport and to representing Pakistan on the international stage. However, he hopes that one day, the government and private sector will recognize the value of supporting athletes like himself, and provide the backing he needs to achieve even greater heights.
