I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Pakistani athletes are a bunch of geniuses. They’re so good at sports that they win medals. Recently, Pakistanis added eight medals including Two Gold, Three Silver, and Three Bronze medallions in Common Wealth Games 2022. They merely highlight the unrealized potential.
Singapore, a country with a population the size of Faisalabad, has more medals (Twelve) overall.
It is wonderful to see Pakistani athletes succeeding at the Commonwealth Games and to see Pakistanis becoming aware that there are sports besides cricket. These athletes do well not as a result of the system but in spite of it.
We must keep in mind, though, that these athletes have made virtually little investment in the infrastructure required for their particular sports, and everything they have accomplished has been done so despite rather than as a result of the system or support.
