Please do not take this in the wrong way.
Just surprised why Pakistan is not gearing up its potential in sports.

1. The armed forces (even tribals) would have world class rifle/pistol shooters, so why no representation there?
2. The special forces (SSG) would be extremely fit & athelatic - so why no representation there?
3. Most Pakistanis are well built, tall and sturdy - this should give them a huge advantage in sports.
4. With a population of about 180 million, there must be hidden talent, waiting to be found.

Nowadays, Pakistanis do not take any interest in any kind of recreation because they are busy sorting out their religion
They first need to figure out what Islam really is and who’s a good Muslim and who’s not.

But on a serious not, Indians aren’t very bright either. In 2008 Olympics, their medal count was shameless to say the least, much behind countries like Kenya, Jamaica and even Ethiopia.

Here’s a complete comparison:
