Pakistan’s aspirations at the Paris Olympics are dimming as two more athletes have been eliminated. Sprinter Faiqa Riaz finished sixth in her 100-meter heat with a time of 12.49 seconds, which was not enough to qualify for the finals. Kasmala Talat, competing in the 25-meter air pistol event, finished 22nd out of 40 shooters, also missing the finals.
With these exits, only shooter Ghulam Bashir and javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem remain in the competition. Earlier, two swimmers and shooter Gulfam Joseph were eliminated, further diminishing Pakistan’s medal hopes.
The national team has faced tough competition and challenging circumstances throughout the event. Despite their hard work and dedication, many athletes have been unable to advance past the preliminary rounds. Faiqa Riaz and Kasmala Talat gave their best efforts but faced stiff competition from international athletes.
