KARACHI (TheSportsNext) July 31, 2012: Pakistan
athletes continued bowing out at the London 2012 Olympic Games on Tuesday with shooter
Khurram Inam and swimmer Israr Hussain failed to make an impression at the
biggest sports stage in the world.
Now Pakistan’s Olympics medal hopes are associated with the
national hockey team which drew their first match against Spain 1-1 on Monday,
while Rabia Ishaq and Liaqat Ali are the other two athletes remaining in the
hunt but not a lot is expected from them.
It is important to mention here that swimmer Anam Banday has
already crashed out of the London 2012 Olympic Games in an embarrassing fashion.
Israr Hussain, who was making his first London 2012 Olympic appearance
for Pakistan, stood last in the 100 meters freestyle event at the Aquatics Center
on Tuesday with time of 57.86 seconds. The 26-year-old Pakistani swimmer
entered the London2012 Olympic Games on a wild card after his good show at the
Shanghai Qualifiers.
The other Pakistani athletes who crashed out of the
London2012 Olympic Games on Tuesday was Khurram Inam, who was taking part in
his third Olympic Games after Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004. Khurram Inam, did
his best in the final two rounds with scores of 20 and 25 but failed to match his
competitors as only the top six qualifiers were to compete in the finals.
Khurram Inam, who is Pakistan’s top skeet shooter, had a
best Olympic total of 67 scoring 21, 23 and 23 in the first three rounds
previously.
