KARACHI: Eying an Olympic seat in the World Qualifiers to be held in France next month, Pakistan’s premier karateka Saadi Abbas has reached Kazakhstan to undergo training at the Akbulak Olympic Centre in Almaty.
“I reached here the other day and am undergoing training in the joint international training camp,” Saadi told ‘The News’ from Almaty on Monday.
Saadi, who has failed to make it to the Olympics through standings, has the final opportunity when he features in the world qualifiers in Paris in the middle of next month. The three top fighters in each weight will make it to the Olympics. This is the first time that karate has been included in the Olympics.
