"I've also been chosen for international events." "My goal is to represent my country at the Olympics, Asian Games, Asian Athletics, and South Asian Games," the Peshawar-born athlete added.

Tameen hoped that she would be sent abroad to hone her skills because of the lack of proper training facilities in Pakistan.
