NATO in Afghanistan - Afghan soldier wins medal running abroad

For the first time in recent history, an Afghan National Army officer has won a gold medal for running in an international competition, beating out participants from 30 other nations. Unfortunately he may not be able to pursue running because of military duties and lack of financial support.

Well done AFG power

[Bbubbo]

Sangar jan and other great athletes have shown the world that Afghans are capable to be among the best..the chance to us is given to us with the help of international community and in midst of war, imagine the heights Afghans can reach with stability If our neighbors should know that 5,000 year old Afghanistan is the heart of Asia and 60 year old Pakistan and 20 year old soviet states should accept this fact and recognize reality. The will of Afghans to raise Afghanistan's name is unstoppable.
