19 May/26

Jafreen, daughter of Md. Jahangir Alam Master of Panchbibi Uchai village of Jaipurhat won the first place in discus throw in the 49th National Athletics-26 event. In the 46th National Athletics event (2021-22) Zafreen covered a distance of (43.49) meters but in this event she managed to overcome (46.06) meters. He broke his own record of 2022 and won the gold medal this year. Bangladesh National Athletic Federation organized the event at the National Stadium. Panchbibi’s pride Zafrin Akhtar has been regularly participating in athletics for the Navy for several years. In this year’s 49th National Athletics, Panchbibi’s pride athlete Zafreen Akhter won the gold medal in women’s discus throw. 29 years after Jotsna Afroz (42.90) meters for Bangladesh Navy in 1993, Zafarin took possession of the record by crossing (43.48) meters in 49th edition Many sportspersons also commented that such a result may deprive Bangladesh of the gold medal from the SA Games. Sri Lanka’s Ishara Madurangi threw (41.29m) in the discus at the SA Games held in Kathmandu in 1920, but Zafarin went further than her (43.49m).

Zafrin said, I practiced hard for something good and got good results in the competition. I never thought I would set a record, but I was surprised to see my own record and it feels good. He also said that it is definitely possible to bring the country a medal in the SA Games if there are good facilities in the camp of the national team.

Zafrin first in junior athletic discus in 2011. In 2014, after getting first place at national level, he got 2nd place. Then from 2014-21, he regularly finished 1st or 2nd in National Athletics. He got admission in BKSP after passing SSC from village school. After passing HSC from here, Panchbibi sportsperson Zafarin Akhter obtained higher education at Kushtia Islamic University. He got a job in Bangladesh Navy because of sports.

School teacher father Jahangir Alam said,My 1’son 2’daughter are all involved in sports after training from BKSP and all are successful. Son Shahiul Alam is a basketball player while serving in Bangladesh Air Force. Younger daughter Zakia Sultana is enrolled in tennis and volleyball events at BKSP but currently plays hockey.
