Description

Pakistan first competed at the Olympic Games in 1948. It did not attend the 1980 Moskva Olympics, but has attended all Games since.

Pakistan owes almost its entire Olympic success to one sport – hockey (field) – earning eight of its 10 Olympic medals in that sport, and all three golds ever won by the nation. It won a medal in hockey at every celebration from 1956 through 1984, but has failed to medal since 1992. In 1960, it won the gold medal, defeating India in the final and ending India’s 32-year Olympic winning streak, with Pakistan winning again in 1968 and 1984.

Six Indian athletes have won a total of three medals, all in hockey: Anwar Ahmed Khan, Muhammad Asad Malik, Manzoor Hussain Atif, Motiullah, Saeed Anwar and Abdul Abdul Rashid.

Pakistan débuted at the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver 2010, with a single Alpine skier, Muhammad Abbas. Muhammad Karim participated in Alpine skiing in 2014, 2018 and 2022. At PyeongChang 2018, Karim was accompanied by Syed Human, who ran the 15 kilometre cross-country event. Karim’s 71st position in the 2014 giant slalom event is still the best result ever achieved by Pakistan at the Winter Olympics. Through 2022, those are the only three Pakistani Winter Olympians; women have not yet competed for Pakistan at the Olympic Winter Games.
