No show Noakhali
Noakhali has always made bold statements in the national athletics championship, but this time only three athletes are competing in the 35th edition of the meet.
And Noakhali might have fired blank this time had not Rafiqullah Milon took personal initiative to save the blushes of the struggling southern district.
"The DSA (District Sports Association) could not hold any competition in the last three years due to financial constraints," said Milon, a well-known coach.
He said that Noakhali never returned home without a medal in the last 20 years. Noakhali produced a lot of prominent athletes like SA Games gold medallist hurdler Mahfuzur Rahman Mithu, silver medallist huddler Sumita Rani, former fastest women Nazmun Nahar Beauty, former fasted men Abu Abdullah and Shamsuddin.
