Throwing for Gold: Arshad Nadeem's Rise from Rural Roots to Olympic Hero"

 At the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Pakistani javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem created history by taking home the gold medal. With a record-breaking throw of 92.97 meters, he accomplished this feat and established a new Olympic record (Paris 2024 Olympics). Pakistan had been waiting 40 years for an Olympic gold medal, but this victory was the nation's first.

Nadeem was the only competitor to surpass the ninety-meter mark twice, hence his feat was noteworthy. Given that he was up against elite competitors like India's Neeraj Chopra, who took home the silver medal in the Paris 2024 Olympics with a throw of 89.45 meters, his accomplishment is even more noteworthy.

The path Arshad Nadeem took to reach the Olympic podium was motivational. He became the first Pakistani athlete to make it to the Olympic finals in athletics in Tokyo 2020, where he placed fifth. He has now developed further and won gold in the Commonwealth Games.
