No Pakistani qualifies for Rio 2016 Olympics

[Max]

This is bcoz of infighting, two parallel Olympic association were doing their shit... so no one knew where to go and what to do.. recently they settled their fights and agreed on single association.. and its their first gift after settlement..

Greedy bastards dont care for country's image..

Hit by non-participation of top players after allegations of doping and many pulling out due to Zika virus concerns, the Rio Games will not be a witness to some the finest talents.

That is not the case with Pakistanis, they are neither elite, nor do they have zika concern. They just weren't good enough to qualify.

You have Vijay Singh,could be a Golf medal.


What i dont understand is,why isnt there any private initiative from individuals(rich or middle class)?

India has a contingent of 121 competitors, its nothing to brag about , but no where as bad as Pakistan.

We are hoping for medals in Wrestling, Archery, Shooting, Boxing, Badminton, Tennis and maybe one in hockey as well.

What are you trying to imply

Zero qualified, as per the OP. Seven will be participating as wild cards.

The seven participants due to represent Pakistan at next month’s Rio Olympics have all been given wildcard entries and stand “no chance” of winning medals, according to Arif Hasan, the Pakistan Olympic Association president.

Vijay Singh is not an Indian national. He is a Fijian of Indian descent. The best golfer in India rn is Anirban Lahiri.

Zero, as per the OP.

They might have a few overseas Pakistanis with dual citizenship. That has generally been the trend.

 

[DesiGuy1403]

err...ZERO?!!

Don't they have some world class Squash players?

An how many Indian athletes have a chance of winning a medal?

Donno, maybe 5-6, hopefully India can better their London 2012 record. Most of them worked hard to qualify for the spot in the Olympics, and only 2 swimmers are going as wild cards.

Those days are long gone!!

We are busy building roads and underpasses these days

@SBD-3 @The Sandman @Moonlight

Actually you know, our army is so bad and naughty, it is because of them that no athlete qualified.

Actually Lahiri is not a bad golfer. He has made quite a few cuts at majors and was top 5 at one of them for 3 rounds last year.

Unfortunately I have no idea. There is a thread about Indian medal prospects in the members club, you will find more knowledgeable people there. Last time we won 6, so I am hoping we get to double digits this time.
