Earlier n 2006, Shujauddin Malik won the gold medal for Pakistan in the 85kg category. During CWG 2022, Pakistan has also won bronze medal as judoka Shah Hussain Shah downed his South African opponent.
Shah entered the bronze medal bout after losing his first round earlier in the 90kg category. This was his first ever 90kg event as the Pakistani player has always played in the 100kg category.
