00:00The opening ceremony will not take place in any stadium, it will take place outside the stadium and in the river Seine.
00:07The athletes from all over the world will come in boats and represent their country in the famous attractions of Paris.
00:22There will be 100 boats and about 10,000 athletes from all over the world will come in the boats and represent their country in the famous attractions of Paris.
00:29One thing is that our boat will not carry so much weight.
00:32Why?
00:33I think there will be 10 people.
00:34There will be other people as well, right?
00:36I don't think there will be as many people as there are in other countries.
00:38We have only 7 athletes.
00:40Once upon a time, when the Paris Olympics started in London, we had 40 athletes.
00:45Wow!
00:46Now this number should have increased.
00:48We have right-sized it.
00:49Although our population is increasing.
00:51According to one department, if there is an award or Olympics, we will be number one.
00:56But anyway, more than 3,000 artists will perform their magic in this event.
01:00That would be very interesting.
01:02The historical culture of Paris and France will be displayed.
01:04The strictest security arrangements have been made due to the internal tension and political unrest in France.
01:09And at the moment, these games are being called the most high-risk games in history.
01:18Who are our athletes?
01:20Arshad Nadeem.
01:21Who is not familiar with Arshad Nadeem?
01:23If we say Fakhr-e-Pakistan, it will not be wrong.
01:26But let me tell you that our athletes take part in most of the competitions.
01:31Now, only 7 are Pakistani.
01:34In the Tairaki competitions, Jahan Ara has been honored with the national flag.
01:40In the shooting team, Kashmala Talat, Ghulam Mustafa, Gulfam Joseph are included.
01:44In the javelin throw, Arshad Nadeem and Faiqa Riaz will test their luck.
01:48Muhammad Ahmad Durrani is also a member of the national squad.
01:51And let me tell you that Kashmala, Gulfam, Ghulam Mustafa and Arshad have directly entered the Olympics.
02:00Whereas, Faiqa Riaz and Muhammad Ahmad Durrani have entered the Olympics on a wild card.
02:05Three of them have entered the Olympics on a wild card.
02:08We have seen that the Pakistani hockey team has not been able to qualify for the Olympics.
02:15Although, we have had a good performance in the past.
02:21We have won 10 medals in the Olympics, of which 8 are of hockey.
02:27And you think that our team has not been able to qualify for the Olympics since 2012.
02:32This is a very sad situation.
02:35Let's talk about this.
02:37Mr. Olympian Boxer, Mr. Hussain Shah is with us.
02:39Thank you so much, Mr. Hussain Shah, for being with us in this program.
02:45You also write Olympian with your name.
02:53It is a matter of pride to participate in the Olympics.
02:57But we have not been able to qualify for the Olympics.
03:06What do you see?
03:08I am not just an Olympian, I am also an Olympic medalist.
03:16I have won two medals in my life.
03:24I have won two medals in wrestling and boxing.
03:29I hope that Pakistan will win a medal in javelin.
03:35Sir, we have a request from you.
03:39You are out of focus and the viewers cannot see you properly.
03:44Let's make it better.
03:46Meanwhile, we are talking about the Olympics.
03:49The Indian team is also focused on the Olympics.
03:56Neeraj Chopra vs Arshad Nadeem.
03:59Mr. Hussain Shah, you were talking.
04:03I have won two medals in my life.
04:09I hope that Arshad Nadeem will win a medal in javelin.
04:16My son has also not participated in the Olympics.
04:20My son's name is Shah Hussain Shah.
04:24He has played two Olympics, the Rio Olympics and the Tokyo Olympics.
04:29He has not played the Tokyo Olympics.
04:32I hope that Arshad Nadeem will win a medal in javelin.
04:40Earlier, a lot of people from Pakistan used to participate in the Olympics.
04:46This time, the number is decreasing.
04:49What is the reason for this?
04:51Politics.
04:53There is politics in sports in Pakistan.
04:56There are two federations.
05:00There are two federations of boxing.
05:04Both are good players.
05:08If they play together, our team will win more medals in the Olympics.
05:18We have two federations.
05:21There are two federations of boxing.
05:23There are two federations in everything.
05:25If we play together, we can win more medals.
05:32You have spoken about Arshad Nadeem.
05:37He is a very hardworking person.
05:40Then you say that politics is important.
05:42We all know about facilities.
05:44We know about sponsors.
05:46We need to make things better.
05:49There are two federations, and politics is a different issue.
05:52What else can be done about facilities?
05:57Facilities, you know, when I used to play boxing, we didn't have any facilities.
06:04We didn't even get proper food.
06:07We didn't even get proper food.
06:10There was only one camp for us in Pakistan.
06:13We used to camp for years and years.
06:16In Islamabad.
06:20Sometimes we used to take a leave for 5-10 days and go back to Karachi.
06:25I used to come back to Islamabad.
06:28I spent my youth in that camp.
06:35But it paid off in a sense that you won a medal in the Olympics.
06:40Which is a great thing for Pakistan.
06:42But now, you see, we have money and everything, but our focus is not there.
06:47And you talk about politics.
06:49So how can these things get better?
06:52What would you suggest?
06:55If we don't move forward together, it will be very difficult for us to move forward.
07:02If we move forward together, our sport will improve.
07:08You are absolutely right.
07:10I know about boxing.
07:13I have played boxing.
07:15I know about boxing.
07:17I have two fetishes in boxing.
07:19Both of them are very good players.
07:21I haven't played yet.
07:22It's been so many years.
07:26I haven't been able to qualify in 3-4 Olympics.
07:31Before that, I used to go to boxing every year for 8-9 years.
07:37You need to do a lot of things.
