Muhammad Naqi Mallick

Muhammad Naqi Mallick was a Pakistani cyclist who represented his nation at three Olympic Games after the end of World War II. In 1948 Mallick competed in the sprint on the track at the London Olympics but lost in his heat to Jack Heid (USA) before being eliminated in the repêchage after losing to Charlie Bazzano (AUS). Four years later he competed on both the road and track at the 1952 Games in Helsinki. This time he once again was eliminated in the sprint in the repêchage, in addition to failing to finish in the individual road race.

Mallick competed at his third and final Olympics in 1956 in Melbourne, again on both the road and track. He abandoned the road race, but he was not alone, as none of the other cyclists from Pakistan were able to complete the course. On the track Mallick rode in the 4,000 metres team pursuit, where Pakistan was outclassed by the Colombian team, who overtook them after just four laps.
