DOHA — Pakistan’s Olympic medalist Arshad Nadeem endured a moment of disappointment in the World Athletics Championship final after his second attempt was declared a foul throw.
The javelin thrower, who carried high hopes for a podium finish, struggled to find rhythm after a promising start. Officials confirmed that his second throw crossed the foul line, leaving him under pressure to deliver in the remaining attempts.
Despite the setback, Nadeem’s determination and past record of strong comebacks have kept fans hopeful. Pakistani supporters in the stadium and back home expressed both concern and encouragement, urging him to bounce back in the next rounds.
Sports analysts noted that consistency will be key if Nadeem is to secure a medal spot in one of the most competitive javelin events of the year.
