Gold Girl gives up 2 medals for father’s treatment
UNB, Benapole :
Mahfuza Akhtar Shila, ‘Gold Girl of Bangladesh’, who won four gold medals for the country in swimming, including two in SA Games-2016 in Guwahati of India, has been forced to sell out two of the medals to bear her father’s treatment expenditure.
Shila, who comes of a poor family at Pachnkabar village in Abhoynagar upazila of Jessore district, bagged two gold medals in the ongoing South Asian Games-2016 at Guwahati in India in 100m and 50m Breast Stroke (women) by setting up a South Asian Games new record in 50m Breast Stroke (women).
As if it has turned into a habit for Shila to win medals in pool; but she has failed to beat her family’s economic crisis.
