Daily Times July 2, 2021 LAHORE: The Pakistan Olympic Association, led by Lt Gen (r) Syed Arif Hasan, has saved Pakistan from further embarrassment caused by the Athletics Federation of Pakistan (AFP) regarding national track and field athlete Ms Najma Parveen. Parveen, who represented Pakistan at the Rio Olympics 2016 in 200 meters, was not considered for Universality Place Quota for the Tokyo Olympics by the AFP. The AFP, with malafide intention, did not nominate her for participation in the Tokyo Olympics without consulting any stakeholder –– neither the athlete nor the POA, which is directly responsible for the finalisation and dispatch of the national contingent to the Olympics.
