Is Usman Khan the unluckiest Pakistani athlete?
Pakistan's star eventer came close to featuring in the Olympics twice
Pakistan’s top eventer Usman Khan is among the unluckiest Pakistani athletes as he came close to featuring in the Olympics twice but failed to do so on both occasions.
At a time when Pakistanis are still celebrating Arshad Nadeem’s historic Olympic triumph in Paris we must spare a thought for Usman Khan.
The Lahore-born Usman Khan made history by qualifying for the Olympics twice. But fate handed him a raw deal and kept him from representing Pakistan both at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024. However, it couldn’t break the resolute rider, who has now set his sights on achieving glory at LA 2028.
