The Paris 2024 Olympics have commenced with much fanfare, but a moment during the opening ceremony has left Pakistan in a state of embarrassment. A comment made by a commentator about Pakistan’s delegation has gone viral on social media, drawing widespread attention.
Pakistan has sent an 18-member team to the Paris Olympics, comprising just 7 athletes and 11 officials. This disproportionate ratio was highlighted by the commentator during the live broadcast, who remarked, “Out of a population of 240 million, only 7 athletes are representing Pakistan.” The comment, meant to underscore the low athlete count, has sparked a wave of embarrassment among Pakistanis.
The video clip of the comment has been circulating rapidly on social media platforms, with many Pakistanis expressing their dismay and frustration. The imbalance in the number of athletes and officials in Pakistan’s Olympic delegation has become a topic of heated debate and has raised questions about the country’s sports administration and preparation for international events.
This incident has not only cast a shadow over Pakistan’s participation in the Olympics but has also brought to light the challenges faced by the nation in promoting and supporting its athletes on the global stage.
