Pakistan’s young athlete Ayesha Ayaz, 12, on Monday surprised the world by winning three medals at the International Taekwondo Championship being held in Bangkok, Thailand.
The 12-year-old — who belongs to Swat — stunned the audience with her exceptional skills during the championship by winning the medals in the Under-12 category.
In the 42kg class, she defeated players from three countries and bagged one silver and two bronze medals. More than 2,200 athletes from 40 countries participated in the event.
It must be noted that Ayesha won a gold medal at the Al-Fujria International event in Dubai earlier this year, including a total of seven medals she has won at the international level. She was the only girl from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to go to Thailand to participate in the championship.
