  Quetta, 2023 - The athletics and swimming teams of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been facing significant challenges, leading to a decline in their performance at the National Games. A shortage of athletics players has hindered full participation in various events, while the closure of the Adil Khan swimming pool in Peshawar for the past seven months has deprived swimmers of essential practice.   The delay in development work on the athletics ground has further exacerbated the situation, making it impossible for athletes to engage in proper training. It is worth noting that athletics and swimming encompass approximately sixty events, with a total of 180 medals at stake. Regrettably, the performance of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's athletics and swimming teams has been far from satisfactory.   The recent opening of the swimming pool at the Provincial Sports Directorate has provided a glimmer of hope for swimmers, as the summer season commences.

    Quetta, 2023 In a surprising turn of events at the 34th National Games held in Quetta, athletes from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa represented the Pakistan Air Force instead of their province.

Navy and other departments pointed out that this violated the 365-day Olympic law of Pakistan. However, the Air Force provided evidence of Osama's recruitment on a one and a half year contract, resolving the objections. Consequently, the athlete from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa competed in the athletics competitions on behalf of the Pakistan Air Force.   This incident highlights the flouting of the Pakist
