There are alot of Afghans that has talents, but they are hidden cuz in Afghanistan the fukin government doesnt support them. and we dont have good trainers and coaches. IF these guys gets good trainers iam sure they going to win Gold medal in Olympics. And Afghans are crazy in fighting especially something like this. Will see more in next Olympics and hope they win and show the world what we got. THANKS GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!
