Yes i was referring to this heat and her chances of qualifying for the next stage from this one.
I know there are still lot of heats left but for some reason I have a hunch she is gonna make it in the last 3..so my prayers are with her
There are two matches tommrow for pakistani pugilists. Lets see if they cant beat their opponents

I don't think winning the heats matter. It's the 16 swimmers with best times out of all 8 heats that advance to the semi-final. You could be the last swimmer in your heat and still advance to the semis if your time is good enough.
I hope she wins her heat cuz theres no competation. i dont even kno what countries the last three swimmers are from.

Yes. That´s exactly the way it is. So even if Rubab wins her heat (which is a very weak one anyway), she would only go through to the Semis, if her time is amongst the Top 16.
And that is highly unlikely.
she didnt do well in her heat either, 30.something seconds and 5th rank i think. hopefully next olympics she'll have a chance.

Yeah. She still has a lot of time to improve her swimming. Beijing 2008 is waiting.
Shah Asghar Ali is out of the competition as well
so rubab raza is out ??
atleast amir khan won his fight
Well she is not out but she has very little chances of winning with her time compared to others. She needs to improve further and she has plenty of time for that.
Rubab Raza was 5th...oh well. she has accomlished a lot for a 13 year old. and like someone said, there is 2008. i hope she can win atleast a bronze. but for this time, this was a wonderful effort for her.
wait she isnt out? how does it work then?
waits patiently for 2008 olympics

Only 1 boxer left...
Man, these damn Cubans... oh well. May be next time.
lol. The only boxer left isn't goin to win his bout either. Tough luck for pakistanis, facing former olympic and world champions.
No way our boys are beating Cubans in boxing. Too bad, if they did'nt meet the Cubans so fast maybe they could have competed for medals.

Let´s hope for Beijing 2008.
Athens 2004 will be another Olympic aera without a medal for Pakistan.
No matter what, I’m still proud of all our Pakistani athletes. If they had all the facilities of bigger and more advanced countries, the tables would be turned.
