Pakistan is full of exceptionally talented people and there’s no denying in that. All they need is a little push, exposure, and watch them conquer the world.
Recently, on Eid holidays, a widely shared short video of a young Pakistani man jumping across a number of motorcycles parked somewhere in a row, has earned huge applause on social media. People are just going crazy and want to know who this athletic young man is!
Let us say that even we are flattered over the man’s jumping skill. WOW! He appeared to be self-taught.
And, now some of the Twitter users are also saying that he could be turned into an asset for Pakistan if he were to be prepared for the upcoming Olympics. What do you think?
Imagine finding him, working on him and preparing him for olympics long jump… pic.twitter.com/kEozipEmvV

Some Twitter users also suggested holding sports galas in a bid to find such gems of the country.
12 motorcycles and long jump..
He is enjoying and achieving. Thinking out of the box is required here..
If we arranged one week sports gala in every district, we will find lots of talented boys & girls for all the sports in early age..@SportsBoardPak @Rio2016 https://t.co/D4sGkPeTOS— Mauhtashim Rasheed (@Mauhtashim1) August 3, 2020
Ever since terrorism hit Pakistan a couple of years ago, sports had to suffer badly along with other money-generating industries including tourism.
Pakistanis lost a part of their heart and soul when teams stopped coming to the country. Under such scenarios, not even players of our national teams, whether it is cricket or any other sport, our local talent also could not play their games.
But, Pakistan is back on track…on the track to prosper and grow.
Indeed!
What a talent!
Pakistan Sports Board (#PSB) should finding him and start working to preparing him for #Olympics long jump competition.#14August2020 #PakistanZindabad ?? pic.twitter.com/pCoEAiTDmM

And, this is some great news!!!
After this video went viral, the Athletics Federation of Pakistan traced and contacted this amazing talent – Asif from Thatta – and invited him for further training. https://t.co/AjnLn7i62n

We are proud of you! Let’s hope, the sports ministry and the decision-makers of Pakistan will see the skills of this young Pakistani boy and do something for his future. One right move can make his destiny.
Here’s another jump by talented Asif. His earlier video of jump over 11 motorcycles got everyone’s attention and encouraged AFP to call him. He’s, although, a raw talent but proper training can turn him into a future prospect for Pakistan. pic.twitter.com/EAr430hAo1
