Abdul Rashid

Abdul Rashid was a Pakistani track and field athlete who specialised in the hurdles. Rashid made a promising start to his career when he won gold in the 110 metres event at the 2004 South Asian Games in Islamabad. The following year he set a national indoor record in the 60 metres hurdles at the Asian Indoor Games in Bangkok, winning silver in a time of 7.95 seconds. He returned to the South Asian Games in 2006 in Colombo, this time winning bronze in the 110 metres hurdles.

Rashid was in good form at the start of 2008, winning silver in the 60 metres event at the Asian Indoor Championship in Doha. His results earned him a place on the Olympic team for the Beijing Games, but he had a disappointing performance after finishing last in his heat. He was only 46-years-old when he died from a sudden heart attack in December 2025.

Personal Best: 110H – 14.15 (2005).
