Pakistan's Fatima Zahra Credits Mary Kom for Inspiring Historic Commonwealth Games Medal
Fatima Zahra, Pakistan's first female Commonwealth Games boxing medallist, won bronze in the women's 60kg event at Glasgow. Growing up in Sargodha, she had few female boxing role models locally and was inspired by Indian boxer Mary Kom's story and 2014 biopic. Like Kom, Fatima faced family opposition but persisted with training, eventually gaining their support. She hopes her achievement encourages more Pakistani girls to challenge stereotypes and pursue sports beyond traditional roles.
