Pakistani athletes Faiqa Riaz and Kishmala Talat have been eliminated from the Paris Olympics after failing to qualify for the next rounds of their respective events.
Faiqa failed to qualify for the next round in the 100m race after failing to finish in the top three in the preliminary round of Heat 2.
The 100m race consists of four preliminary rounds and the top three contenders from those rounds qualify for the first round. The five athletes with the next best times also earn a spot in the next round of the women's event.
However, Pakistan's Faiqa finished with a time of 12.49 in heat 2 of the 100m race and finished in sixth place, missing her chance to qualify for the next round.
As for Kishmala, she competed in the women's 25m pistol event and despite higher expectations, she finished 22nd overall.
His scores on the accuracy series were 95, 99 and 99, while his scores on the rapid series were 98, 93 and 99. This gave him a total score of 579, which fell short of the 8 points needed to advance to the next round.
This marks the end of the road for Faiqa and Kishmala at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Pakistani athletes have had a bad run of form at the Paris 2024 Olympics as two swimmers, Ahmed Durrani and Jehanara Nabi, and shooter Gulfam Joseph were eliminated from the event.
Pakistan has one more shooter who has not yet seen action at the Paris Olympics and that is GM Bashir, who will compete on August 4.
The country's hopes are pinned on renowned javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem, whose Olympic journey will begin on August 6.
