"Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Gymnasts Struggle with Funding for Inter-Provincial Competition"
The six-member gymnastics team representing Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa faces a significant funding hurdle as they prepare for the upcoming
inter-provincial gymnastics competitions in Lahore. Unfortunately, funds for
the team have yet to be arranged, posing a challenge to their participation in
the prestigious event.
The selection of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa team took place just
three days ago after rigorous trials conducted under the supervision of the
Gymnastics Association secretary. The trials saw participation from gymnasts
representing different districts within the province. Despite their successful
selection, the team is currently in a precarious situation due to the lack of
financial support.
The Provincial Sports Directorate, responsible for
facilitating and supporting athletes, has issued an apology for being unable to
provide essential kits and equipment. They clarified that they currently do not
have the necessary funds to allocate for the gymnastics team's expenses,
including their journey to Lahore.
The Secretary of the Gymnastics Association revealed that
they have not received expected grant assistance, leaving them in a challenging
position to facilitate the team's participation in the upcoming competition. In
a proactive move, the gymnasts are reaching out to the community for support,
attempting to secure loans from various individuals to cover the financial gap
and ensure their representation in the inter-provincial competitions.
It's important to note that Provincial Sports Directorates
play a vital role in promoting sports and supporting athletes' welfare. Their
primary responsibility is to provide necessary facilities and resources to
enhance the overall sporting experience for players.
