Blog from Pakistan to and around the world

Having a look at the Olympics medal table it was disappointing to see that Pakistan did not win a single medal.
Where as countries like Zimbabwe, which from the news looks devastated, managed to win 4 medals.
Even war torn Afghanistan managed to win a bronze medal in karate, the first time in olympics history.
Even India and Iran won medals but we did not win a single medal.

Moreover, this time around we did not send any wrestlers or boxers to the event.

So like a tradition, may be this blame should also be passed on to the former president under whose regime our sport did not flourish or anyone else would stand up to own the blame.

Ethopia, a famine struck nation won 7 medals, with 4 gold.

While talking to a friend in the USA, he told me about his chat with an Ethopian guy, who said that facilities in ethopia were far lesser than that in Pakistan, what they did was focus on a single game "Track and field" as this only involves running and no special gears excpet shows and they did manage to get results.

This surely proves that if you are focussed and have the will you can succeed.
Ethopia is one such example.
