Khan was instrumental in Pakistan's bronze medal in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Mentreal, and won gold in Asian Games in Bangkok in 1978. Khan retired from international hockey in 1982 while he was a captain of Pakistan. Khan's brother Kaleemullah Khan also played for the national field hockey team of Pakistan. He later managed the Pakistan team, quitting in 2005.



Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf (C) and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani (front R) present the torch to the first torchbearer Samiullah Khan at the Pakistan Sports Complex in Islamabad, capital of Pakistan, on April 16, 2008. Islamabad is the tenth stop of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games torch relay outside the Chinese mainland.

Jahangir Khan, the last torchbearer in Islamabad relay, is a former world No. 1 professional squash player, who is considered by many to be the greatest player in the history of the game.

"You know the squash is not a sport of Olympics, so it has always been a dream for me to be an Olympian. It's a special way for me to be in Olympic Games. It seems you passed the final line and got a No. 1 and won a gold medal in the Olympics. Something what I am doing today is accomplishing something like that," said Jahangir Khan.

During Jahangir Khan's career, he won the World Open six times and the British Open a record ten times. Between 1981 and 1986, he was unbeaten in competitive play for five years.

During that time he won 555 matches consecutively. This was not only the longest winning streak in squash history, but also one of the longest unbeaten runs by any athlete in top-level professional sport.

"Squash has been played all over the world. You can find a lot of people are playing it all over the world and China is coming along. We have seen a lot of fans from Hong Kong. I think this year will have a lot of Opens, and we have got the Beijing Open in China," said Jahangir. "Next year, it will be decided whether the sport will be included in 2016 Olympic Games. I am optimistic for the future prospect of squash."

"I am the first male squash torchbearer to carry the Olympic torch. It's a big honor for me to be the last bearer and ended the relay here," he added.
