Rustame Pakistan into final stages

LAHORE:


Rustame Pakistan Dangal reached its quarter-final stage with Bashir Bola Bala set to defend his wrestling title at Iqbal Stadium Faisalabad.


The prestigious wrestling tournament kicked off with earlier rounds at Wapda Sports Complex in Lahore.

The winner of the quarter-final will qualify for the semi-finals which will be held in Multan on May 13 with the final of the mega event taking place in Karachi from May 20.

“Though Bashir is the only name in the Pakistan wrestling world, we have new-comers who have established themselves in no time and capable of beating the defending champion,” Pakistan Wrestling Federation General Secretary Muhammad Asghar told The Express Tribune. “I am not worried about the future of the game as we have numerous wrestling prospects.”
