Pakistan at the 2006 Commonwealth Games

Pakistan was represented at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne by a 75-member strong contingent comprising 53 sportspersons, 21 officials and 1 head of the contingent.

The Pakistan team's dismal performance in the 2006 Commonwealth Games (only 5 medals, including 1 gold) drew public criticism, in view of the large contingent sent to the Games. The official-to-sportsperson ratio was among the highest of any participating team, and newspaper editorials in Pakistan have asked for accountability in expenditure of public funds [ [http://www.jang-group.com/thenews/apr2006-daily/02-04-2006/oped/o5.htm ] ]
