Good to see- hopefully other sports are given attention. Sad to see the decline of Pak in other sports.

Pakistani eating habits are single handedly responsible for their athletes being weak and slow even by South Asian standards. All this infrastructural development needs to be accompanied with a cultural change too.

Pakistanis eat beef and many claim they eat meat almost everyday. Still no results as they don’t look like natural athletes like the rest of South Asians.

All true and yet the irony is the guy we are talking about in this thread is Pakistani and at one point at his peak was arguably the fittest sportsman in the world back in 80s.. the one and only Jahangir Khan.
