Shirin is very much hopeful and has high expectation to win gold in the SA Games, when she said, “Actually there is nothing impossible, if you have determination and continue endeavor, I will have to do, I have that belief, I have taken permission from the DG of the BKSP to continue my practice under Kafi sir (Abdullah Hel Kafi, coach of BKSP) round the year, if I could do it, obviously my dream will come true.”

Mesbah, who will run in the World Athletics Championship in London in August said, “It’s good feelings to have the honour of fastest man for  six times.
