Pakistani Olympic team today leaves for China for 2008 Olympics. Pakistan first partcipated in the olympics in 1948 , Quaid- e azam waved the team off in high spirits.The team then had participated in a total of 7 games, although the performance wasn’t extra ordinary but Pakistani hockey team had mangaed the 4th rank on the list. Its unfortunate how over the span of time sports in Pakistan has been considerably neglected. Nearly 60 years down the row Pakistan in the Olympics of 2008 will only participate in 3 games with a rather thin margin of getting ranked in the winner’s list . It has become very important that focus should be kept in introducing and training different sports in Pakistan and that various sportsmen with different talents are encouraged to participate. One can only hope that next olympics bring about a significant participants from Pakistan encouraging sportsmanship in the contry . For now all the luck to the participants 2008.
