In a momentous occasion, Arshad Nadeem made history by winning Pakistan’s first Olympic gold medal in 32 years. The 27-year-old athlete achieved this remarkable feat in the men’s javelin throw final at the Paris Olympics, setting a new Games record with an attempt of 92.97 meters.
Nadeem’s victory is a testament to his hard work and dedication, as he struggled to even buy a new javelin for training due to lack of support. His emotional response after securing the gold medal, wrapped in the Pakistan flag, was a heartwarming moment that went viral on social media.
This achievement is significant not only for Nadeem but also for Pakistan, as it marks the country’s first individual gold medal at the Olympics. Pakistan had previously won just three golds, all in field hockey, with their team winning the titles in 1960, 1968, and 1984.
Nadeem’s journey to the top is an inspiration to many, as he had to rely on his father as his sole sponsor. In a podcast, he humbly said, “Mera aik hi sponsor hai, aur wo mera baap hai” (I have just one sponsor, my father).
The 2022 Commonwealth champion and silver medalist at last year’s Budapest world championships, Nadeem is determined to push his limits further. He aims to extend his personal best to over 95 meters, a feat that will undoubtedly make Pakistan proud.
