Arshad Nadeem made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics by winning Pakistan's first individual gold medal with a record-breaking javelin throw of 92.97 meters. This throw not only shattered the previous Olympic record of 90.57 meters, held by Andreas Thorkildsen since 2008, but also marked Nadeem as the first Pakistani athlete to achieve such a feat. Nadeem's victory was hard-fought, overcoming an initial foul throw to ultimately dominate the event. Neeraj Chopra of India, the defending champion, secured silver with a throw of 89.45 meters, while Anderson Peters of Grenada took bronze. Nadeem's triumph is a story of perseverance, overcoming financial struggles and limited support compared to his rivals. His coach, Salman Butt, expressed immense pride, and Nadeem dedicated his victory to Pakistan, aiming to extend his record further in the future.
