The Bengal Tiger roars into Olympic final

[bd_4_ever]

We need to start demanding a game in olympic that resembles our traditional "Nouka Baich " It will be fan favorite event as well. However I am sure we wont win anything even if it a competition of Singing Amar Sonar Bangla.

Yes that's what I meant. I mean, we mainly send swimmers, runners, archers and shooters. We need to broaden up a bit and send bigger delegations that covers more sports. If we dont chances, we would'nt know.

I am still happy for her she has won for both country

That is not true at all. She performed for Bangladesh in her junior days briefly.
Her brothers name is Philip Al Mamun. She is no different than You.

Such a talent we lost ha? :/

Well if there was one man among 160 million whom I would have bet on to win an Olympic medal for us, it was surely Asif. I dont think we have any athlete that comes any closer to him in the race.

Probably Siddique Rahman, the golfer would.

But being a country of rivers and floods, how come we haven't owned the Olympics in rowing/kayaking?

Why doesn't Bangladesh army send their units for olympics... Kuwait army man have won gold in shooting event.

i think better to spend more money on the sports that you are very good at... if you spread it too thin you will get nowhere.. its not random chance that you might get medal here and there.. you got to beat everybody else in that specific sport...

You sure about that?

Here it is

1. She last visited Bangladesh in 2009 and wanted to take part in the Gymnastic world as a BangladeshI but that couldn't marerialize for unknown reasons.

2. She speaks Bangla but not fluent. Her mother Anna speaks Bengali though.

3.Her village is in Kashipur, Durgapur, Rajshahi.

Bangladesh must develop and nurture its talent more.

Also She took Part in Junior Championship, Germany as Bangladeshi

According to Ahmedur Rahman, Bangladesh Gymnastic Association she went back to Russia because she didn't get adequate help from them. Her father asked for money for Gymnastic facilities and a good Coach.

Gold medallist gymnast Margarita Mamun’s father promised to take her to Bangladesh: Shahriar

Rio gold medallist rhythmic gymnast Margarita Mamun’s father had promised to take her to Bangladesh after the Olympics, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam says.

Alam was on an official visit to Moscow last year in June when he hosted a dinner to celebrate the European championship win of the Russian-Bangladeshi gymnast.

Born in Moscow to a Bangladeshi father, Abdullah Al Mamun Shipar from Durgapur Upazila in northern Rajshahi district, she called it "a victory for two countries" after winning individual all-around Olympic gold.

The 20-year-old Russian goes by the nickname of 'The Bengal Tiger'.

“Mamun bhai promised (me) to take her daughter to Bangladesh after the Olympic. Then the flower bouquet for the ‘Tigress of Bengal’ will definitely be much bigger,” Shahriar wrote on his Facebook page, posting last year’s photos in which he was handing over a small bouquet.

He also recalled the dinner that he had hosted to celebrate her glory in the European championship.

To win the Olympic medal, Margarita beat the overwhelming favourite and three-time world champion Yana Kudryavtseva, who surrendered her title hopes when her twirling act with the clubs went horribly wrong in its dying seconds.

Throwing the club high into the air, the Russian rolled over on the floor ready to catch it as she went to strike her final pose, only to have the apparatus land beyond her outstretched hand.


“It was quite unexpected for me to win the gold medal today because before today Yana beat me and win each time in the all-round. So, I wasn't really thinking about winning the gold medal today,” said Mamun, who earned Russia a fifth successive gold in the discipline.

She was also delighted that her victory was also being celebrated in her father’s homeland. She had represented Bangladesh as a junior.

“I'm really happy knowing that I have a lot of fans in Bangladesh who have been supporting me,” added Mamun in Russian.

“I can count one to 10 in Bengali. When I was younger my dad used to teach me Bengali but I have forgotten it all.”

And why did she choose to represent Bangladesh as a junior considering she was born and raised in her mother's homeland?

“I had dual citizenship so that's why I decided to represent Bangladesh in one competition as a junior. I came back to represent Russia as I always lived and trained in Russia.”

I decided to represent Bangladesh in one competition as a junior.

What competition was this?

@Nilgiri @hinduguy

well you can trust he said this or that but...
there is little chance that her mother who is a sports person herself will allow her to represent bd in a sport that russia has natural advantage(resource, facility, and pedigree) just because her dad said something...
what possibly happened was she was not sure whether she will be included in senior team, so was looking for another country to represent.. athletes do that if competition is huge in home team.(obviously nobody will say that).
since her career in russia took off, they are blaming bd association, they knew exactly what the association can/cant do.

Maybe yes,

But They're not blaming the association, It was the association who said it. The association failed to realize her potential and didn't show any interest to sponsor her according to the association.
