Laghman tops three-province wrestling competition involving 200 athletes
Laghman finished first in a two-day traditional wrestling competition involving 200 athletes from Laghman, Nangarhar and Kunar in Mehtarlam. Nangarhar placed second and Kunar third in the event organised by Laghman's sports administration to encourage competition among athletes.
Laghman took first place in a traditional wrestling competition involving 200 athletes from three eastern Afghan provinces, with Nangarhar finishing second and Kunar third.
The two-day event was held in Mehtarlam, the capital of Laghman province, and organised by the provincial Department of Physical Education and Sports.
Athletes from Laghman, Nangarhar and Kunar competed in the tournament, which the organisers said was intended to encourage healthy sporting competition among participants.
Laghman emerged as the leading province in the final standings, ahead of Nangarhar and Kunar.
The result gave the host province first place in a competition that brought together wrestlers from across the three neighbouring provinces.
The event lasted two days, providing athletes with an opportunity to compete against opponents from outside their own province.
The information released by the organisers did not specify individual winners, weight divisions or the points system used to determine the final provincial standings.
