Naseem Hameed: The ‘Queen of Tracks’ with nerves of steel.

Pakistanis have different talents to rise and shine for Pakistan. Here's story of Naseem Hameed- Fastest women of South Asia.

Naseem Hameed is a 22-year-old Pakistani from Rawalpindi.

She created history on Monday by becoming the fastest woman of the region when she won the 100-metre sprint gold medal at the South Asian Games.

She clocked 11.81seconds, 0.12seconds ahead of Sri Lanka's Pramila Priyadarshani, to bag her first gold medal before a strong crowd at Bangabandhu National Stadium.

“It is a great moment for me to have brought glory to the country in my event after the poor showing by our national cricket team and especially since our athletics standards have been poor of late,” Naseem Hamid said.

Wearing national green tights, she led the field among the eight runners after her easy qualification for the finals.

“I had forgotten the world for six months and trained really very, very hard under my coach Maqsood Ahmed to achieve this,” Naseem Hameed said.

“I hope my performance will inspire the young athletes to become professionals.”

For Naseem Hameed to win the 100-metre sprint was a historic moment as no Pakistani woman had achieved this feat in 26-year history of the regional games.

Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) Chief Lt.Gen (Rtd) Syed Arif Hasan congratulated Naseem for her historic performance and announced a one-lakh-rupee (Rs.100,000) cash prize for her remarkable achievement.

Pakistan quartet of Naseem, Javaria Hassan, Nazia Nazir and Sadaf Siddiqui won the women's 4x100 relay race by covering the distance in 47.16 seconds. India took the gold and Bangladesh silver medal.

Pakistan has so far won four gold, two silver and four bronze medals in the track and field events.

Hope this fastest athlete will inspire you to show your talent and make Pakistan proud of YOU. Thank You!
