Pakistan’s swimmers continued to struggle at the Commonwealth Games, with none advancing beyond the qualifying heats despite one athlete setting a new national record.
In the women’s 100-metre freestyle event, Jehanara Nabi failed to progress to the next round after finishing with a time of 1:00.36. She placed 36th out of 64 competitors, while only the top 16 swimmers qualified for the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, in the men’s 50-metre breaststroke, Hamza Asif improved his own national record by clocking 29.63 seconds, surpassing his previous best of 29.99 seconds.
Despite the record-breaking performance, Hamza was unable to secure a place in the semi-finals, finishing 27th out of 50 swimmers in the heats. His improved timing, however, marked a personal and national milestone for Pakistan in the event.
