Commonwealth medals - why is Pakistan lacking?

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.

Pakistanis “well built, tall and study”:
Relative to whom? You need to compare Pakistani players with, for example, Australian players. Most Pakistanis are not “well built, tall and sturdy”. But exceptions are everywhere.

Population alone does not mean excellence. Sri Lankan cricket team is as good or better as Pakistani team, for example. What is lacking is organization and resources.
