But, the real game is during preparations for the event,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not talking about only weightlifters, other potential athletes also need high-class facilities and a whole coaching team for preparing for any event. Only then, Pakistan can win medals,&#8221; he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Talha once again lamented the lack of facilities before going to Olympics. &#8220;Had I got good facilities, I could have won a medal for my country. But, still, it&#8217;s not too late, I aim to get proper facilities and win a medal for Pakistan in the future,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Talha&#8217;s coach and President Pakistan Weightlifting Federation (PWF), Hafiz Imran Butt answered criticism on him for going to Tokyo with Talha as a coach. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t go there for joy rides. People said I turned coach just to tour Tokyo. Remember, I am the national champion and a recognized coach. I tried my best to support Talha and his performance has proven his abilities and skills,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>READ:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arysports.tv\/pray-win-olympics-medal-javelin-thrower-arshad-nadeem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018Pray for me to win Olympics medal\u2019 Javelin Thrower Arshad Nadeem<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>LAHORE: Olympian Weightlifter Talha Talib believes that Pakistani athletes have all the potential to win medals but they just need high-level facilities and a whole <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/?p=108730\" title=\"\u2018Our athletes need a whole coaching team, facilities\u2019 Talha Talib\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108730"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=108730"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108732,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108730\/revisions\/108732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=108730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=108730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=108730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
