Oh man! none of them look fit enough to be called athletes. Plus their kits are just too bad. Need to spend some money on sports in the country. I dont know why we have sports ministry.

Fazal I do agree with your comments. I too last night saw the Pakistani contignet on UK TV opening ceremony. They seemed completely sad & demoralised. Perhaps they were all fasting and praying in their heart 'no controversy'this time with their team members. Good luck to them.

Agree. Last night I saw the Pakistani contignet on UK TV opening ceremony. Sullen sad lot. seemed completely unfit & demoralised. No chance of any medals for this lot !!! The BBC PRESENTER COMMENTED ON THE COMPOSITION OF SQUAD.SOME THING LIKE 20 CONTESTENTS WITH 10 OFFICILAS.

I stayed up just to watch the entry of our Olympic contingent in the stadium last night and must say it was not only a complete let down but potrays a very poor image of our country. The uniforms made our team looked more like waiters from a local keebab and tika shop and their attitude looked depressed to say the least. The comments from the BBC presenter were also negative and overall they looked like they have lost out before even starting

These are bunch of people showing and displaying frustrations from their home country. None of them seems to be a winner and the officials look like free riders!

I believe all of you will be more happy when there is no PK flag in Olympics, they all are also part of our system and we have to put things right, stop criticism, did any one of you have courage to come forward, join the system to correct it, none? give them nice suits to wear, provide them same color shoes and select them on merit, your answer will be government should do this? Government have done what they can do as per their standard, now you should think what you have done so far to cure the ill system.
