KARACHI: Pakistan Judo Federation (PJF) plans to send Olympian judoka Shah Hussain to either Europe or Central Asia for one-month training if he is able to confirm his qualification for Tokyo Olympics.
“We have thought that we should send Shah for one month to either Europe or Central Asia once he secures his Olympics berth,” Masood Ahmed, a senior PJF official, told ‘The News’ on Saturday.
“We will see various aspects as Covid-19 situation has restricted the options. It may be Europe or Central Asia. If we opt for the latter then Uzbekistan may be an option. We want to send him because in Japan there are training restrictions due to Covid which are impeding Shah’s growth,” said Masood, the PJF vice-president.
