We are nation where street crime, mugging, target
killing is rampant and still we failed to produce shooters who can represent
pakistan in the Olympics 2012.
Our streets majorly witness protests with burning
effigies and pelting stones 'pathrao' at people and property and still we were
unable to produce discus throwers who can make it to represent Pakistan in the
Olympics.
We are a nation who is always ready to put a
fight for the pettiest of issues and yet we were not able to find quality
wrestlers and karate players for the event.
More so, everyday we commute from home to work in
public transport, hanging and clutching to every minimum space that is made
available in the shabby public transport, at time sprinting behind the bus to
catch it, and yet we weren't able to send enough athletes to the
event.
Pakistan's Olympic contingent is one of the
smallest in the event. Countries like Kenya and Iran had more representation in
the game and have been able to win medals. Even country like Tunisia which was recently stuck by rebel was able
to send more athletes.
With so much talent available on the streets of
Pakistan, it would have been wiser if that talent is used in more productive activities.
