Amazing Pakistani Sportspersons
Samina Baig
Mountaineering is a dangerous sport and is seldom associated with females. In case if the female belongs to a rural setting in a developing country like Pakistan, the sport is simply unthinkable. However, Samina Baig proved all of this completely wrong and changed the image of sports in Pakistan. She conquered Mount Everest, the world's highest peak in 2013 - becoming the first and only Pakistani female to-date to have achieved this feat.
Her expeditions did not stop only at this and she continued scaling more peaks along with her brother. Soon after the Mount Everest success, she announced that she will undertake scaling of all the highest peaks in all the continents and has already embarked on it.
A biographical sketch on Wikipedia on Samina Baig details her adventurous undertakings and also provide valuable links to her other activities. One of the news item covering her biggest success gives some details about the adventure as well. A biographical film on her eventful life is being planned in 2014.
