LAHORE - Pakistan’s presence at the London Olympics dwindled further on Tuesday as swimmer Israr Hussain and shooter Khurram Inam made their exits. Pakistan’s only representatives left in London now are Rabia Ashiq (800m), Liaqat Ali (100m) and the hockey team after swimmer Anum Bandey also bowed out. Israr failed to qualify for the 100m freestyle after he finished last at the Aquatics Centre. With a time of 57.86, Israr ranked 54 in the list of 56 swimmers and last in his pool. Israr was given a wild-card entry to participate in the Games based on his performance at the Shanghai Qualifiers. Khurram, participating in his third Olympic Games after Sydney in 2000 and Athens 2004, crashed out after he scored 20 and 25 in the last two rounds on day two of the qualifiers. Previously, Pakistan’s top skeet shooter had fired a total of 67 scoring 21, 23 and 23 in the first three rounds respectively. Khurram finished on 28th amongst 36 shooters with the total score of 112.
