Swimmer Kiran Khan, who won 12 medals including 7 gold medals in the National Games at the age of 11, is now competing with younger swimmers in the National Games after becoming a mother.
Karan Khan became a mother for the second time five weeks ago and she says she wants to make history in swimming so that more girls come to the sport and continue the sport even after becoming mothers.
The swimming competition of National Games in Lahore has started at Nishtar Park Sports Complex.
Olympian Karan Khan is representing Pakistan Army along with sister Bisma Khan. Karan Khan won silver medal in 50m butterfly.
Karan Khan in an exclusive conversation with Geo News said that being an experienced swimmer has its advantages but also requires hard work to compete with new swimmers.
He said that Bisma Khan is the future of Pakistan, we are both sisters in a team that benefits each other, I like to compete with today’s children and reach them.
Karan Khan said that it feels great to be back in the swimming pool again, I am enjoying competing against new swimmers, I became a mother for the second time just five weeks ago.
She said that my message is that after becoming a mother, don’t give up sports, I have a lot of family support, my husband and father are very supportive.
Olympian Bisma Khan said that I was not even born when Karan Khan got the title of Golden Girl and now I compete with her and participate in international and national competitions.
“I feel great, I get a chance to learn from her, she continues to play after becoming a mother, which is an example for all,” she said.
