Golfer Siddikur Rahman has become Bangladesh's first athlete to qualify for an Olympics after finishing 56th in the final eligibility rankings for the Rio Games. "I believe no other sportsman from the country ever took part in the Olympic Games through qualification before this. The 31-year-old dropped down the rankings in April but worked his way back into contention for the Games. I have already booked a ticket for Rio and hopefully I will be able to make my country proud in the golf event." So I am honoured and glad that I will be representing my country through the game I play in Rio de Janeiro.
