Peshawar-based wrestler Inayat create history become first-ever Pakistani wins world title for Pakistan …….. By,Asghar Ali Mubarak
Peshawar-based wrestler Inayat create history become first-ever Pakistani wins world title for Pakistan
By,Asghar Ali Mubarak
Islamabad- Peshawar-based wrestler Inayat create history become first-ever Pakistani wrestler to win world title for Pakistan World Championships. Pakistan’s most memorable wrestling achievement at Olympic level has been Muhammad Bashir’s bronze medal at the 1960 Games
The Pakistani wrestler Muhammad Inayatullah won the 70kg title at the Beach World Wrestling Championships by defeating Irani wrestler in the final of Beach World Wrestling Championships Dalyan, Turkey.
Pakistani wrestler Muhammad Inayatullah after his win over a Turkish opponent in the semi-finals repeated the trick in the title-decider as he became the first-ever Pakistani wrestler to win a title at any world wrestling championship. Not the one to rest on his laurels, he now wants to go all the way at next year’s Youth Olympic Games.
“I’m so happy to win this title,” Inayatullah was quoted as saying by a website. “It’s a great feeling to have this gold medal around my neck. It’s something I’ve worked very hard for. I’m even more motivated now to win a gold medal at the youth Olympics next years. It is just the beginning.”
The Peshawar-based wrestler also dedicated his win to the people of Pakistan. Trained by his dad M Zahid — an Asian Games medalist himself — Inayatullah naturally credits his old man, but he also made sure not to forget his teammates, including top wrestler M Inam, who himself is competing in the 90kg event. “I just want to thank my coach, my father and Inam for being extremely supportive,” said Inayatullah. “He is more excited for me than I am.”Inam, the 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medalist, returned the compliment by saying that Inayatullah has made Pakistan most proud among all the wrestlers that have ever represented the country internationally.“He has done something that nobody else has,” said Inam. “I’m impressed, I’m proud, there are all these emotions. I did guide him, but at the end of the day it is Inayat who delivered the performance that has changed Pakistan’s history in the sport.”“Mind younone of our wrestlers had won a title at any world championship in any of the wrestling events before him. I’m just waiting what Pakistani government can do for him now and how people receive him after such a remarkable feat,” he added.

Former world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali’s wife Khalilah Camacho Ali visited PAF academy By.Asghar Ali Mubarak
Former world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali’s wife Khalilah Camacho Ali visited PAF academy
By.Asghar Ali Mubarak
Islamabad: The ex-wife of former world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali’s wife Khalilah Camacho Ali visited Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Academy Asghar Khan on Sunday. Khalilah Camacho Ali (born Belinda Tolona Ali in 1950) is an martial artist, Author and Motivational Speaker, also known for being the former wife of boxer Muhammad Ali.
Khalilah was the boxing legend’s second wife. The couple gave birth to four children. She interacted with the officers and cadets during her visit to the Flying Training Wing of the academy. Being an enthusiastic aviator with 830 flying hours to her credit, she flew a training mission in the Super Mushshak aircraft of Primary Flying Training Wing. Talking to the aviation cadets and flying instructors, she appreciated the professionalism of the flying instructors and the training standards of the academy. She also expressed her gratitude to Chief of Air Staff Chief Marshal Sohail Aman for inviting her to visit the academy and giving her the opportunity to fly in a PAF training aircraft. Earlier, she also graced the final of Women Squash Tournament held at Mushaf Squash Complex, Islamabad as the guest of honour. She lauded the earnest efforts of Pakistan Squash Federation for providing world class squash facilities to the young girls in Pakistan.PAF Academy Asghar Khan is located in the town of Risalpur in Nowshera District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. On other day at media center Muhammad Ali’s Ex-wife urged women, in particular, to embrace their roles as leaders in the family, in society and in the formation of the next generation.”We are the mothers of civilization,” the mother of four began, in speech that was equal parts conversation and gospel. “Men need us to be kind to them, to give them hope … If they feel good about themselves, coming from you, they can conquer the world.”Ali knows of what she speaks. She is credited with rebranding Cassius Clay as Muhammad Ali. “The Trials of Muhammad-Ali,” she tells of his conversion to Islam and of his refusal to serve in the Vietnam War, despite facing a five-year prison sentence. He was banned from boxing for the decision — a belief in conscience over fame that resonates today. During the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, Camacho-Ali reminded women in a packed auditorium at Westside Park to be true to them and to begin by respecting themselves.
She urged parents to keep the family sacrosanct. “You need to grow up and set an example for these children, so they can grow up and be mamas, not baby mamas,” she said. “Remember love — and cast out the old stuff,” she continued.”You have greatness inside of you right now, so be careful,” Camacho-Ali cautioned. “If you throw that away on drugs and alcohol, you are missing out on the greatness that is there.”Muhammad Ali’s ex-wife recently opened up about what it was like being married to the boxing champ during his most trying years.
Camacho Ali, who married the boxer in 1967, said their 10-year marriage was “the best time of my entire life,” “See, you guys don’t realize Ali wasn’t the great Muhammad Ali as he is now. He was going in that direction. He was struggling in that direction. He was struggling with people taking everything from him and I was the only thing that held everything together,” she said.
Ali said she used her own money to support him for three years, but offered him emotional support as well.
“You know, I kind of guided him along the way, and it was it was a wonderful struggle, and it was tough for him. He was depressed most of the time. He was unhappy, didn’t know what the hell was going to happen to him. So I had to give him that positiveness, that positive ‘Hey, you can have a family. We can do this together. I could write the speeches, and you could speak the speeches, and we’ll become a people’s champ,’” she said.
The pair’s marriage — which ended in 1977 — experienced highs and lows. Ali’s evasion of the Vietnam draft cost him his boxing title, a decision later overturned by the Supreme Court in 1971. During their marriage, the boxer also reclaimed his heavyweight title in a 1974 match against George Foreman. The couple had four children together.
In recent years, Ali has been in the spotlight for his struggle with Parkinson’s disease. He is currently married to Yolanda Williams, his fourth wife. In 1999, he was deemed “Sportsman of the Century” by Sports Illustrated and is regarded as one of the greatest athletes of our time.
“Where did you get your name from?” and “Are you Muslim?” are some of the questions Muhammad Ali Jr. was asked by immigration officials for nearly two hours.

Pakistan Defeated Bangladesh 7-0 in Opening Match of Hockey Asia Cup Report by.Asghar Ali Mubarak
Pakistan Defeated Bangladesh 7-0 in Opening Match of Hockey Asia Cup
Report by.Asghar Ali Mubarak
DHAKA -Pakistan started its campaign at the 10th Hockey Asia Cup with an impressive 7-0 win
over the hosts Bangladesh at Dhaka’s Maulana Bhashani Stadium.
The green shirts completely dominated the proceedings throughout and created numerous open play chances along with nine penalty corners.
But the first match jitters were very much evident as they scored just one goal in the first half, courtesy Abubakr Mahmood’s PC conversion in the second quarter, whose powerful flick went into the net off goal keeper Asim’s palm. There was a lot of missing from Pakistanis.
Bangladesh had their best chance of the match late in the first half. A faulty Pakistani clearance led to an easy top of the circle opportunity but the Bangladeshi captain Rashel shot just wide with the goal at his mercy.
Two back to back goals early in the second half calmed Pakistani bench’s nerves.
Arslan Qadir was felled down in the circle and off the resulting penalty stroke, Ammad Shakeel Butt sent the goal keeper the wrong way with a high push to the top left corner.
Soon, an Ali Shan reverse hander from the left of the circle was sent into the cage by an excellent touch by Arslan Qadir with an extended stick held high.
Off the fifth PC, a little variation at the top of the circle worked. Skipper Irfan drew the rushers before slipping the ball to Abubakr, who flicked it into the net to make it 4-0.
The last quarter also saw three goals.
Ammad Butt after receiving the ball in the circle from a right side attack beautifully side stepped the net minder before putting it in.
Then Abubakr completed his hat trick availing the seventh PC. Though his push was straight on to the goal keeper but the ball deflected into the goal.
The last goal came in the final minute. Arslan Qadir created space at the top of the circle in a crowded defence before slotting home with a spectacular reverse hit for his second of the evening.
Scorers: Abubakr Mahmood:3 (18′,41′, 50′) Ammad Shakeel Butt:2 (33′, 47′) Arslan Qadir: 2 (33′, 60′)
Hero Man of Match: M.Rizwan Senior (12,500 Takas)
Pakistan next plays Japan on Friday
Earlier India defeated Japan 5-1 in a clinical display.
India’s scorers: Harmanpreet Singh 2, Sunil, Lalit Upadhay & Ramandeep Singh
The eight-team tournament will serve as a platform for 2018 World Cup as the winner will directly qualify for the marquee event, which will be held from November 24 in India. This was the fifth match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Asia Cup. Pakistan won all previous encounters without conceding a goal. However, when Dhaka last staged the Asia Cup in 1985, Bangladesh gave Pakistan a good run for their money, losing only by 0-1 at that time, were the undisputed kings of hockey holding all the titles: Olympic, World Cup, Asian Games and Asia Cup. Before stats the event Pakistan played a practice match against China on Monday and defeated them by 3-2. This was the only practice match for the Green-shirts before the Asia Cup.The Hero Asia Cup 2017 eight teams competing for the coveted title at the Maulana Bhishani National Stadium here in Dhaka, Bangladesh. But for teams like South Korea, Japan and China, it’s not only the title they are after, but a place in the 2018 World Cup in India. So far three Asian countries, hosts India, Malaysia and Pakistan have earned berths to the tournament.
Although many are in favor of defending champions South Korea to qualify for a remaining World Cup slot having won the previous two Asia cup in 2009 and 2013, the other three who have made it will be fighting for the world ranking points.
While the chase is on for the World Cup berth and ranking points, one significant factor that makes this edition more interesting is the change of format.
The 8 teams are placed in two pools and after playing three matches, the top two teams of each pool will move into another pool named the Super Fours and the bottom two teams of each pool will move to another pool to determine the 5-8th placing.
In the Super 4s pool the teams will play a round robin and the top two teams then proceed to the final.
It will no doubt tax the physical endurance as in normal circumstances teams need to play 6 matches and land the title; this time around it’s one game extra.
Malaysian coach Stephen van Huizen said that this will pose a physical challenge to teams. “In the initial pool stage, teams have to fight to finish in the top two and then at the Super 4 stage every match counts,” said Stephen.
Coaches need to rotate their players as much as they can hence bench strength is important as the last four matches are virtually back to back with only one-day rest in between.
The Malaysians have never made the final of the Asia Cup but as the second ranked team in the tournament, they are optimistic they will be in the final on October 22.
India is on a team rebuilding exercise with new coach Sjoerd Marijne. But the expectations are high to lift the Hero Asia Cup.
“His strategies revolve around the trust factor. The more we trust each other the better we will play as a close-knit unit. He encourages sharing. He says none of the players should hesitate in coming forward with their views, even if they disagree with his suggestions. He welcomes dialogue and engagement,” said India skipper Manpreet Singh.
With four titles, South Korea is the most successful team besides being the defending champions from the last edition held in 2013.
However, they could well succumb under pressure in Dhaka as they have to win the title or risk missing out of the 2018 World Cup. The same applies to Japan, a team that created waves at the Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh, by defeating Australia, but in the World League they were a pale shadow.
Early indications are that South Korea, Malaysia, India and Pakistan will make the Super 4 stage. However, do not discount the possibility of China and Japan upstaging the more fancied teams.
Introduced in 1982, the inaugural Men’s Asia Cup was won by Pakistan, who also won the next two editions in 1985 and 1989. Since then, India (2003, 2007) and Korea (1993, 1999, 2009 and 2013) have also been champions in the nine editions played so far.
