Siddikur expects respectable result in Rio Olympics

Country’s ace golfer Siddikur Rahman said if he is able to play his natural game, it will be possible to bring a respectable result for the country in the Rio Olympics.
Siddikur will start his campaign in the men’s individual stroke play on Thursday (August 11). “If I am able to play my natural game, then there is chance of a respectable result …. because, when I move with a specific target in the competition I will not get the expected result,” he said with an interview in a private television channel.
He said he was facing many difficulties where he is staying but is trying to settle down and hoping to overcome those problems. When asked about his feeling while carrying national flag in the opening ceremony of Rio Olympics, the ace golfer said: “It was a special feeling when I was walking with national flag and waving the flag.
Earlier, last month, the 31-year-old winner of two Asian Tour titles was placed in 56th position in the final eligibility list for the Rio 2016 Games, therefore becoming the first Bangladeshi athlete to participate in the Games through direct qualification.
All the other athletes to have participated so far have done so through wild cards provided to each national Olympic association by the International Olympic Committee to encourage participation for all countries.
Golfer Siddikur Rahman is the first athlete who qualified for an Olympics based performance in the competition.
