Pakistan’s star javelin thrower, Arshad Nadeem, is set to compete on Tuesday (tomorrow) at the Paris Olympic Games 2024 in the javelin throw qualification event.

“Pray for me so that I can perform better and qualify for the final,” Nadeem

Nadeem, hailed as Pakistan’s hero, will be competing in Group B alongside India’s Olympian Neeraj Chopra, who is set to defend his medal. The group also includes other top contenders such as World No. 5 Edis Matusevicius, World No. 6 Anderson Peters, and Germany’s Max Dehning, who has thrown over 90 metres this year.

The Group B action is scheduled to start at 2:50 PM Pakistan Standard Time (PST), with Nadeem slated to throw fifth. To secure a place in the final round, an athlete must achieve a minimum throw of 84 metres. The top 12 athletes will advance to the medal round. If fewer than 12 athletes meet the 84-metre mark, those with the best throws will qualify.

In the Tokyo Olympics, Nadeem finished fifth with a javelin throw of 84.62 metres, while Neeraj Chopra clinched the gold medal with a throw of 87.58 metres. Nadeem also secured a silver medal at the World Athletics Championship.

“All attention is focused on tomorrow’s game. I am fully fit and focused on the game,” Nadeem said.

In other news from the Paris Olympics, Pakistani sharpshooter GM Bashir failed to qualify for the final round of the shooting competitions on Sunday. Bashir scored 581 points in the qualifications, finishing 15th and missing the final by just four points. The cutoff score for the final was 585.28 points.

Last week, Pakistan’s sole female Olympic marksman, Kishmala Talat, was eliminated from the Women’s 25m Pistol event after finishing 22nd. Her compatriot Faiqa Riaz also did not progress in her events.
