Pakistani judoka Malaika Noor has made history by winning a silver medal at the Amman Asian Open Judo Championship 2025. She is now the first Pakistani woman to claim a medal at an Asian-level judo event.
Only 20 years old, Malaika competed in the 52kg weight category and impressed audiences with her skill and determination throughout the tournament.
In the semi-final, she delivered a dominant performance against Jordan’s Raneem Aljazazi, securing her place in the much-anticipated final.
The championship clash saw her take on a tough Saudi opponent. Despite a brave fight, Malaika eventually had to settle for silver.
Her performance, however, brought immense pride to Pakistan and highlighted the growing talent of women in martial arts.
This historic achievement marks a milestone for Pakistan’s sporting scene, where female athletes are steadily breaking barriers.
Malaika’s journey stands as an inspiration for young athletes across the country, especially women aspiring to shine internationally.
