Arshad Nadeem has made history by winning Pakistan’s first Olympic gold medal in 40 years, and the nation’s first Olympic medal since 1992, with a stunning 92.97m throw in the men’s javelin final. In a dramatic showdown, India’s Neeraj Chopra, the reigning Olympic champion, secured the silver medal with a throw of 89.34m.
Nadeem’s victory is a moment of immense pride for Pakistan, as the athlete had requested the nation’s prayers ahead of the final—and those prayers have indeed been answered. His remarkable performance ends Pakistan’s long wait for Olympic glory, marking its first gold since the hockey team’s triumph in 1984. Every Pakistani is surely feeling proud as Nadeem has brought home an Olympic gold, reigniting the nation’s sporting spirit on the world stage
