Hailing from Gujranwala, the 29-year-old wrestler earlier clinched the title during Delhi Commonwealth Games 2010 when he had defeated Jayden Lawrence in the first bout before overpowering India’s Somveer in the quarterfinal.


This is Pakistan’s first Gold medal and overall fifth medal. Earlier, two other wrestlers Mohammad Bilal and Tayyab Raza bagged the Bronze while weightlifters Talha Talib and Nooh Butt also won Bronze medals in their respective categories.

Thats great vmbut unfortunately he will be forgotten after month without any support.
 
Pakistani, Brock Lesnar who of course is reputable (MMA, Ameture Wrestler , WWE) athlete
 
He took loan for preparation and participation as he didn't get any financing from government

You were spot on bro;

Following his win, Inam was critical of the government, claiming he had not been provided with any funds for training. “I had demanded Rs1 million from the government to prepare for this event but did not receive anything. Along with the Pakistan Wrestling Federation, I spent my own money and was able to win the first Gold medal for the country.”

Yep, of course not even Pakistan's "celebrities" could not even write a short congratulations to a man who has achieved more than any of them would. I suppose when the next Bollywood flick gets cancelled they'll be tweeting their concerns, aside our guy shaan;
