Pakistan always gets a lot of medals in boxing, last couple of years have been disappointing though but this woman has definitely done something amazing in SAF games:

Shehan Saearuwan Abeypitiyage of Sri Lanka and Naseem Hamid of Pakistan emerged as the fastest man and woman of the 11 SA Games winning the 100 meter sprint with a timing of 106 and11: 81 seconds respectively on Monday 07 February 2010.

Both the results were regarded as upsets as Shehan toppled India’s Abdul Najeeb Qureshi who won the 200 meter defeating Shehan and was regarded as the hot favourite.

On the other hand a woman from Pakistan winning the 100 M sprint was unimaginable as it did not happen before and the Pakistani women sprinter were never in the fray of the winners in the 26 year history of the SA Games. Naseem blazed the track to create a piece of history on the track of the Bangabandhu National Stadium.

Naseem Hameed-Comments

I don’t have the words to express my feelings, I actually cant believe that I am the fastest woman of the subcontinent, I have been working hard for the success but it was a distant dream, I have been going through the athletics from my school days, my schools name is Millat School, in Karachi, it was a wonderful feelling that gives me great motivation to look forward, for the first time in the history a girl from Pakistan have won the title of the womens 100 meter in the SA Games I think this will continue to inspire the upcoming female athletes of the country to come forward. I want to continue the success in the upper level.

Lankan women are usually quite quick and Indians are pretty good as well so it's definitely a fantastic performance by the young woman.
WELL DONE!!!!
