🎖️ Official Appreciation Statement – Celebrating Excellence in Arm Wrestling 🎖️
By Syed Muhammad Atta Shah
It is with immense pride and heartfelt gratitude that I reflect on our most recent celebration — an event that not only showcased the strength of our athletes but also honored the spirit of discipline, sportsmanship, and unity that defines our arm wrestling community.
We were truly privileged to be joined by three esteemed chief guests, whose presence added great honor and prestige to the occasion:
🔹 Muhammad Ali Jada Bhai – A living legend, my respected teacher, and one of the most senior and influential figures in Pakistan’s arm wrestling history. His lifelong contribution to the sport has laid the foundation for generations of athletes to rise.
🔹 Inspector Saddat Butt – CTD Karachi – A distinguished officer whose dedication to service, discipline, and support for positive youth engagement is truly commendable.
🔹 Mr. Ahsan Shamsi – President of Sindh Sahafi Sangat, a respected voice in media and a passionate supporter of sports and youth empowerment in Sindh.
🏆 Awards & Recognitions
To honor the outstanding performances and achievements during recent competitions — particularly in the Battle of the Iron Hands — I had the personal privilege of presenting the following awards and tokens of appreciation:
🥇 Hassan Agha – Awarded the “Krasi Pulley”, in recognition of his continued dominance and pride-worthy performance. A symbol of strength and consistency, Hassan Agha has become a true ambassador of Karachi's arm wrestling potential.
💰 Abdul Ahad – Received a cash award of Rs. 8,000 for his remarkable performance, determination, and rising status among Pakistan’s emerging talents.
💰 Azam Rabani – Awarded Rs. 5,000 for his impressive showing, unwavering spirit, and commitment to self-improvement on the competitive stage.
💰 Atif Abdul Gafur – Recognized with a cash prize of Rs. 5,000 for his consistent hard work, strong performance, and potential to become one of the country’s elite contenders.
This event was more than just a celebration; it was a reminder of how far we have come and how bright our future looks when talent is nurtured, discipline is respected, and contributions are recognized. Every athlete, supporter, and guest who attended played a role in making this gathering a true success.
I thank all participants, guests, and well-wishers for their continued support. Together, we are building a legacy of strength, unity, and excellence for the generations to come.
With great respect and appreciation,
Syed Muhammad Atta Shah
