Arshad Nadeem, the Olympic record holder and gold medalist from Pakistan, celebrates in his hometown!

  

How Pakistan Celebrated Olympic Gold Medal Winner Arshad Nadeem's Historic Javelin Throw Performance

Karachi residents came out on the roads in large numbers to celebrate Arshad Nadeem's feat of winning Pakistan's first ever individual gold medal in Olympics.














To celebrate Arshad Nadeem's achievement of winning Pakistan's first-ever individual gold medal at the Olympics, many Karachi citizens took to the streets.

To celebrate Pakistan's first-ever individual gold medal at the Olympics in Paris, javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem brought a big number of Karachi residents out onto the streets. With an incredible throw of 92.97 meters, an Olympic record, on Thursday, 27-year-old Nadeem won the gold medal at the Paris Games, ending Pakistan's four-year wait for an Olympic gold medal. Pakistan's hockey team won the gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

There were scenes all throughout Karachi that brought back memories of Pakistan's cricket victories in the World Cup and the Champions Trophy.

Arshad Nadeem, the Olympic record holder and gold medalist from Pakistan, celebrates in his hometown!

Children emerged to celebrate, honking their car horns and brandishing signs featuring Nadeem and the Pakistani flag.




Nadeem, who is from the tiny Punjabi town of Khanewal, added an Olympic gold medal to his collection last year, joining the gold he won at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the silver he earned at the World Championships.

As soon as it was confirmed that Nadeem had taken home the gold and unseat India's Neeraj Chopra as the Olympic champion, congratulations and praises began to flood in. Chopra's throw of 89.45 meters earned him a silver medal in the end.


The magnitude of Nadeem's achievement was evident to everybody as Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab promptly declared a 5 crore cash award for the sportsman on behalf of the Sindh government.



"We will organize a befitting reception for Arshad in Karachi when he returns home," Mayor Wahab stated.

There would be tremendous celebrations upon his homecoming, his mother said reporters in his village.

"He has not only made us proud but he has made Pakistan proud in the world and I can only say prayers," she stated.

After battling knee and elbow ailments and having no access to training facilities, Nadeem traveled to Paris. He even had to petition the government at one point because his javelin had worn out and he needed a new one.



"I believe that Arshad's accomplishments today will serve as a great example for other young people to aspire to, encouraging them to follow and surpass him in the track and field. Former Test captain Rashid Latif observed, "You will notice youngsters now also taking interest in other sports, not just cricket."

Ayaz Mahmood, who played hockey for Pakistan and won a gold medal at the Olympics in Los Angeles, said he was in shock at what he had witnessed.


"At a time when our hockey team has failed to even qualify for the Olympics, Arshad stepped up to keep Pakistan's flag flying high in these games," he stated.







Arshad Nadeem won the coveted gold medal in the men's javelin final in Paris on Thursday

 

With 92.97m, Pakistani smashes the Olympic record. Defeats Indian adversary and buddy Neeraj Chopra


Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan made history on Thursday night at the Stade de France by winning the men's javelin final and becoming the country's first track and field athlete to win an Olympic gold medal. He may have started this competition as the underdog and may have had less name recognition than his Indian rival Neeraj Chopra. And he accomplished it with style, smashing an Olympic record while defeating his old buddy and adversary Chopra.

As Nadeem threw his second throw, the record of 90.57, which had been held by Norway's Andreas Thorkildsen since Bejing 2008, faded into the rearview mirror. The crowd erupted in shock and excitement when they saw the final distance: 92.97.
When the record showed up on the board, indicating that it was the farthest throw in the world this year, Nadeem flung his arms up in celebration and almost disbelief.

With his gold, the javelin thrower made history as his nation's first medalist since it took home a bronze in men's hockey in Barcelona in 1992. He broke the record with his throw, making history as the fourth competitor to reach the 90-meter mark in the men's javelin at the Olympics.

The 27-year-old already has the distinction of being the first Pakistani to qualify for the final of any track and field event in Olympic history. He placed fifth in Tokyo with a throw of 84.62 meters and won silver at the world championships in 2023.

He was formerly a talented cricket player who gave up the game to focus on throwing the javelin, calling it "the best thing that happened to me."


Before the Olympics, he declared, "I wouldn't be in the Olympics otherwise." "I'm appreciative of my innate athletic ability, but there are obstacles for non-cricket athletes in Pakistan, such as a lack of facilities and resources."

Nadeem has already discussed his challenging path to the Olympics, claiming he had reached the pinnacle of his sport without having access to cutting-edge fields or training centers. Using his platform, he has also demanded increased financing for Pakistani track and field competitors, stating that "you have to provide world-class facilities to develop athletes in this day and age as the competition is getting tougher and tougher." You cannot create another Arshad if you do not provide them with those resources.




Chopra, the current Olympic champion, was the center of attention before to the competition. However, neither the Indian javelin superpower's ambition of breaching the 90-meter mark nor his aspiration of taking home a second Olympic gold medal were realized.

Donning a vivid blue bandana, Chopra exuberantly entered the stadium with the intention of igniting a frenzy of national pride. However, the 26-year-old appeared subpar and managed to make only one out of his six attempts, setting a season high of 89.45 on his second try. Anderson Peters of Grenada made all but one of his throws, taking home the bronze with a best throw of 88.54.

Now that Chopra has won the nation's first-ever Olympic gold medal in athletics in Tokyo, his Pakistani counterpart can anticipate a small taste of the euphoria that engulfed India, catapulting him into social media stardom and igniting discussions regarding the marital status of this most eligible of bachelors.


Over their careers, the two have become close friends despite the occasionally venomous national rivalry between the Indian and Pakistani sports teams.

During the qualifying round, Nadeem achieved a direct qualification mark of 84 meters with a throw of 86.59 meters on his first try. However, Chopra went one step further and made a huge 89.34-meter throw on his maiden try. "It brings me great happiness that my brother Neeraj bhai and I are the only South Asians performing on a global platform," Nadeem remarked. "I hope that we keep up our good work for our respective nations and elevate their profiles internationally."

The praise for the new Olympian champion started to pour in shortly after his victory, with Malala Yousafzai, the leader of the education rights movement, spearheading the effort. "Happy anniversary, Arshad Nadeem!" she said on the social networking network X. "You created history and will always be a symbol of strength and inspiration for young Pakistanis, encouraging them to pursue their aspirations."
