Two retired generals ney Pakistan ki sports ka baira garak ker k rakha hoa hey. One is mentioned in above news general Akram Sahi. He use to be head of Pakistan sports board and his war with Pakistan Olympic Association General Arif Hassan. Their lust of power has destroyed sports in Pakistan. I don't expect even single bit of good from Gen sahi or Gen Arif. Allah inko Garak karay. Kis tarah inn donoo ki apas ki laraye ney kitnay he young sports person ka future tabha Kiya hey. I use to be an active sports person who has played at national level. Mey tou itna acha nahi Tha to represent even my province probably only teach to top 16 of province once but kitnay hee talented Co players inn donoo gernals ki waja sey game hee choor Gaye hey.

Being a broad jumper I know there are five main components of the long jump:
-Approach run,
-Last two strides,
-Takeoff,
-Action in the air,
-Landing.
I have observed that he is good at last three components mentioned above but he needs to improve in approaching run and last two strides.I donot know how much distance is covered by eleven motorcycles.But to be a good competitor at national level he needs 23-24 ft jump at least which is really an Himalayan task.

he still needs work on landing. but he is good will be polished in no time,,

His style is not too off from the IAF (International Athletics Federation) rules and can be trained to follow it. The problem with these natural born athletes is that sometimes they cannot adapt to the rules. I remember a guy who worked in a rural circus in Pakistan and could really jump very high but his approach was not consistent with IAF guidelines and athletic federation could not retrain him, despite their best efforts.

Being a raw talent his final landing is OK. But for a precise landing his body needs lot of flexibility which consequently help to cover few extra feet as well.

[Dalit]

Crazy jumping skills.

 

[Amavous]

Army runners and jumpers ko pehlay bhi recruit krti ha apni sports teams ka liye. Yeh news kyon ha?

Because he was no sportsman, Just displayed his skills in videos and got famous on social media, and a campaign was launched to utilize his talent. Army answered that campaign by hiring him hence all this hysteria.

His natural talent is best fit in Pak Army.Mashallah
