Well done! Great Job.
Pakistan sent 8 swimmers to Asian games. 4 have not shown up for any of the events they had registered in and only 4 are swimming. Can sports desk please guide why 4 swimmers are not taking part in their events and why in fact they were sent at great expense if they were not going to even participate whereas better swimmers were not included in team?
