Pakistan In Paris Olympics 2024: Pakistan are all geared up and ready for the Paris Olympics 2024. Even though they might have failed the Olympics Test in hockey, a sport which has made them proud in the past, they will have representation in the world's biggest multi-sport event with Arshad Nadeem leading the country's 18-member contingent in the French capital.
An overall look at their performance in Olympics will suggest that the country has won a total of 10 medals ever since it started participating in the Summer Games in 1948.

Pakistan has only managed to win two individual medals so far, courtesy of Mohammad Bashir who won bronze in the Men’s 73kg wrestling in the Rome 1960 Olympics. The other invidiual Olympic medal came in men’s middleweight boxing with Hussain Shah bagging the bronze medal in the Seoul 1988 games.
All of Pakistan's other eight medals have come in men's hockey with the last one coming in Barcelona 1992. The South Asian country has never managed to win a medal since then and would be hoping to end that drought when it begins its campaign in Paris 2024 Olympics.
