Bangledesh National record-holder Imranur Rahman selected for Paris
PATHWAY TO PARIS – Dubbed ‘the fastest man in Bangladesh’, University of Birmingham alumnus Imranur Rahman, who graduated in 2016, has been selected to join the Bangladesh Athletics team heading to Paris in a matter of days for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Rahman already has a Gold under his belt, from the 2023 Asian Indoor championships in the 60m where he ran 6.59, and is tenth Asian Indoor Athletics Champion. For this year, though, the 31-year-old England-based sprinter will compete in the Men’s 100m – and with his history of running the fastest 100m sprint in Bangladesh since electronic timing began in the country – 10.05 seconds in 2022 – Rahman will certainly hope to rise to the challenge when the fastest men in the world meet at the end of the month. The Athletics finals will take place at the Stade de France between 1 – 11 August at 7pm each day.
