Nepal has immense potential for adventurous sports: President Paudel



KATHMANDU: President Ram Chandra Paudel has called on all sides concerned to disseminate positive message about Nepal’s adventurous sports in the international arena because there is huge potential for adventurous sports in Nepal.

Welcoming sports journalists and office-bearers, who arrived here from different countries to participate in the Congress of Asian Sports Journalists Federation (AIPS Asia), at Sheetal Niwas, President Paudel urged them to make publicity of Nepal in the world sports arena citing that Nepal is a favourable place of sports and athletes.

“There is immense potential for adventurous sports, high altitude sports and ultra-marathon in Nepal”, he mentioned.

The President stressed that Palesha Govardhan had boosted the country’s image by winning a medal in the Paralympics held recently in Paris.
