Its off topic but why is that countries that are great powers start winning olympics medal? Like during cold war era it was russia and usa and now we see china.
In a word,Money.
If Pakistan and India started to pour in money for scouring and developing athletic talents,We would feature highly on the medals tally too.Here's the trick part, while you would need to invest in sporting events that you are good at but also take up sporting events where winning can be achieved via tweaking the game on your favorable side rather than pure talent.
Allow me to explain that last statement.There are pure athletics events where the results are determined solely on running faster,throwing farther or swimming faster.For example,There's pretty much nothing you can do about the 100 mts race.It is a fact that no Asian man has been able to secure a Gold medal in 100 meters sprint and no amount of throwing money on the issue will help.Your best chances is to concentrate on sports which can be benefited through dedication and monetary investment.
In essence, you would need to concentrate on events like synchronized swimming,diving,shooting,rowing,gymnastics,table-tennis as well as group events like volleyball,basketball etc.where you can change the performance of your athletes via world class training and infrastructure.That's how rich countries with large populations and money to spend can beat racially diverse Western countries that can afford to field an all Black track and field team and sport an all Caucasian Aquatics team.You might be not able to face the United States in individual events but at least you can even their advantage out and lead the medals tally.
