Perniya Khan, who is the best table tennis player in Pakistan, said on Monday that she wants to play in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Khan told reporters, “My goal is the Olympics in Paris in 2024. That will take a lot of hard work. I’m sure I’ll be able to go to the big event.”
She thanked Wahab Riaz, who is the Chief Minister of Punjab’s Advisor on Sports, for putting together a very tough sports series.
Khan, who has won two bronze medals in junior South Asian Federation (SAF) games, said that the Ramadan sports series, which is being put on by the Sports Board of Punjab (SBP) and supervised by Wahab, will help athletes in the long run and that these kinds of events should happen often.
“It’s been a long time since I played in such a good tournament,” Pernia said. “I’d like to thank the organizers, and I’d like to see these kinds of tournaments happen again and again,” she said.
Khan has made it to the last singles tournament. She hopes to win both the singles event and the pairs event coming up. “I’m going to play in the last singles event. “It’s a tough competition, and only athletes at the national level are taking part,” she said.
The Olympic athlete said that her folks helped her a lot. “My parents always back me up. I am here today because of them. “I always want to make them proud,” she said.
